Oklahoma's Eternal Chrome's 1st Annual Benefit Poker Run

Telling ourselves it was for a good cause, Nancy and I bundled up and met others at Victory Church Saturday morning for the Eternal Chrome's 1st Benefit Poker Run. It was a little cool and the sky was gray with only a peek of sunshine. We got registered and acquainted with some of the other riders.

We took off, went to the closest restaurant to grab a bite to eat and headed to the first check point. There we caught up with the group and rolled the dice took some more pictures.

From Wilmot Baptist Church we rode to Meeker, Oklahoma where we rolled the dice again, fueled up, chatted a while and then went across the street to LaDonna's Grill to eat.

We left LaDonna's full of great food and proceeded to Soda Pops for the final check point.

We were a little late but took some time to take in some of the beauty of the wonderful looking bikes and cars that were hanging out at Soda Pops on this famous stretch of Route 66..

There were some great looking bikes there.

I especially liked the bike to the left.

We took off from Soda Pops and headed back to Victory Church where we finished up and headed back to our home. We had a great time and got to know some new people as well as getting to know each other better. It was a great experience and we'll be exited to get another chance to ride again.

Oklahoma Facebook Comment

Yes it's Friday in Oklahoma. Thank God for this. I was pulled from my slumber by a little voice. I don't know if it was God, my own little mechanism, or even the evil one. What ever the voice, I'm am awake, my mind is alert, my heart is open to what makes it tick, I know why I'm here, and this will be a day like no other.

Getting on the computer, I quickly found myself on facebook. Looking for good new about my friends and family. I started to make a comment, and it just kept growing. That's why it turned into a blog. I wanted to comment about the polls that had been appearing lately about national health care, abortion, President Obama approval ratings, etc. I just realized that Obama is not approved as a word by my spell check. Facebook is not approved either. I bet the developer is not aware of this. I probably don't have the latest upgrade.
I think the polls are great. The poll creators are really wanting to now what the public thinks. Are the poll creators politically motivated, or just curious? If our laws and government polices were truly ran by the people, we could do something like America Idol, where we text our vote in. We could change things so fast that even if it was wrong, we could change it back before to much damage is done.
No, I must still be dreaming. How can life be simple at this stage of the game. It's taken over 40 years for me to realize that it is natural for the world to complicate and cause confusion between people. Once you know that, it makes it simpler for you to enjoy the day.
I wasn't even going to blog today, but I felt it my American eesponsibility to express my freedom of speach. This one power can change our Nation for the better. Surely there are those of you out there with better ideas than mine. Speak up America. Speak more positive into the future, and less negative about the past. Our history is just a learning lesson.

Another Rainy Morning in Oklahoma

Well it's the third day in a row that I have looked outside and seen rain gleaming between the Oklahoma City street lights and the darkness that lingers. I'm glad we are getting the rain. The grass was turning brown and this will help grass fires from starting. I know the ranchers welcome the rain to help the grass grow for livestock purposes and the farmers need it for their crops. All those who enjoy going to the lake and fishing should appreciate the rain.
I spoke to a person yesterday who raises watermelons. He told me the rain would really help the melons to grow to the size that they needed to be if we could get a little sunshine.
Today I have family flying to other states, friends having funerals, and I will be driving to work in the rain. I'm going to have a mentality that will accept the rain as a blessing and be thankful for all the good that it does. Since we are 90 percent water, I'm sure a little rain is probably a good thing.
