Dear Duchess

See the photo of "My Bud" to the left? That is my favorite NW Oklahoman, J. L. "Bud" Clark. My human beings tell me that I get to see him while we are back in NW Oklahoma for a couple of weeks or so. BOW WOW ... WOW!

When Sadie Sadie and myself went on strike, NW Okie has let me take over the OkieLegacy Twitter site!

I have quite a few dog followers since I have taken control. Just a few of my dog friends are Napoleon the Pug, Bentley B, Sharkey & Francesca (my favorite) and their DailyWag & Blog, and many other dogs and their humans. I just love this tweeting and twitter stuff, but the Facebook is great, too.

We have added a NEW Domain name to our list of domains. It is mcgillsisters.us (Preserving Pioneer Prairie News) on our iWeb (Mac) site. While we were adding that domain name, we went ahead and added org, net, com domain name extensions using "mcgillsisters," but those other names aren't pointing to any DNS at this time. We just wanted to reserve those names for McGill Sisters later use.

This is a special remembrance day in Oklahoma and especially in OKC. It was 14 years ago today that the bombing of the Murray building in downtown OKC took place, at 9:01 a.m. Fourteen years ago Duchess the Pug wasn't even a twinkle in the eye of her mother. BUT ... NW Okie was in Alva and her sister was in OKC, living in a 39th Street apartment.

I guess the thunderous noise and vibrations were felt all over OKC on that day that shocked the Nation. Do you remember where you were that day?

Oklahoma lost the greatest "political cartoonist" this week. Some of you might remember him . He did the political cartoons for The Daily Oklahoman starting in 1950. His name was Jim Lange.

NW Okie's Dad, Gene McGill, has several autographed politcal cartoons that Lange had done in the 1960s of Gene during his courting days of the Democrats away from Governor Edmondson's control of the party.

I need to pull those cartoons out and scan to share with you all. NOW ... where did NW Okie pack those political cartoons away? After NW OKie gets through her personal business in Oklahoma this April, I will nudge her to bring those cartoons out for a showing.

That is about it for now. Did I leave anything out? Oh Yeah! Thursday and Friday of this week we had our final blast of Winter here in Southwest Colorado. I think! It did not accumulate to much North of Bayfield, but the higher elevations did get a few inches more than we did. They were reporting that Saturday it may drop 8 to 14 inches of snow around Ouray, Colorado.

Our Saturday turned out partly cloudy and temperatures in the mid-50s. That was while you NW Okahomans were experiencing tornadic winds clocked at 80mph around 5:00 p.m., Saturday afternoon. We heard that storm spawned out around the Fairvalley and East of Freedom and moved East towards Alva and Avard.

NW Okie and her sister own a Fairvalley ranch next to the old Fairvalley townsite. My human being's youngest son got some video of that storm yesterday. As soon as we get a copy we will put up on our YouTube.com OkieLegacy website.

How did yesterdays tornadic storm affect you? If you are on Facebook and connected to Valarie Case's, you might want to check out her photos of Woods County's tornado storm clouds. They are great!
