The
Library's Dec. 2nd Gala has been cancelled

The
"artic blast" has arrived and our recent 70 degree afternoons
are now a distant memory. The 5pm Nov. 30th TV weather forcasts
are saying we have a fair chance of significant snowfall still to
come today. School is out, other events are being cancelled. The
number of drivers I've seen in town today has been very low. I've
opted to just leave my car in the garage and walk the short trip
from home to work (& the city park). My only problem so far
was an extra half hour just trying to get inside the Newspaper Museum
today as the door lock was full of ice and the key was blocked until
I sprayed enough de-icer to finally break through. My daughter Emily
had mailed a sweater for our dog Georgia (above) which arrived today
just in time for her to romp in the snow this afternoon. This has
been an odd storm with a report of a young man struck by lightning
Wednesday and Tulsa releasing their "first ever" blizzard
warning today (for counties northwest of us). -- Ted 5:40pm Thursday |

Iraq
Bound -- This is a prayer request for my brother Richard and
my cousin Michael. They left for Iraq and will be on the ground
today. Please pray for their safety as well as that of their unit.
Pray for wisdom and perserverance in the face of adversity. Pray
their minds will remain pure and alert and that they will have foreknowledge
of pending disasters. Please pray for my sister-in-law Keshia who
is also a new mother that her heart would not worry and she will
let the rest of the family help.
Thank you for your prayers. -- Julie Dermody -- Nov. 28, 2006 --

I
took a stack of old phone books to the special
bin at 901. W. Center Friday. Was disappointed to see more junked
bicycles in the bin than phone books. I hope this doesn't ruin the
opportunity for those following the rules. -- Ted 11/24/2006 |
