Well! College football has arrived. Oklahoma State (OSU) beat Georgia 24-10 at home in the new Pickens OSU Stadium, in Stillwater, Oklahoma. BYU beat Oklahoma University (OU) 14-13 this last Saturday, September 5, 2009, when Sam Bradford, OU's Heisman Trophy quarterback, suffered joint strain to his shoulder when Bradford got pounded into the ground. Let us hope that the time out will be short for Bradford and OU football.

This NW Okie's Pug Underdogs came in 3rd out of 5 in her Yahoo! Fantasy College Football Group with Moshers taking 1st out of 5. If it had not been for OU and Bradford being pounded into the ground by BYU, Moshers would have picked a perfect score in the Fantasy Football league. BUT ... IF's don't count, do they? Do you belong to a Fantasy Football College league?

Dale in Stillwater, OK says, "We have lots of hummers at Yost Lake near Stillwater, OK. I have six feeders around my cabin. FUN ... FUN ... FUN!"

As to the Alva WWII POW Camp, Leonard says, "We were very close to the airfield. There was a huge concrete water tower which I suspect was to supply water for the camp not far from where the converted barracks were located. I don't know if it's still there or not. My brother and I climbed to the top via an inside ladder that went up to a hole in platform that must have supported the water tank. Never did tell our parents about that insanity!

Leonard continues, "The paintings we saw were in the two remaining buildings which I think were used for truck maintenance, as there still old truck parts scattered inside one of the buildings and two abandoned military trucks just outside this one structure. There were several paintings in at least one of these shop/barracks and as there were no other buildings left except for the ones we were living in I would venture a guess that they are the ones in the Waynoka Museum."

It is also Labor Day weekend! Hope if you are out driving on the highways and byways that you are watching out for other drivers and being courteous. Labor Day weekend in SW Colorado, particularly Durango and Ignacio, means biker and their hogs gather from all over. NW Okie did not get into Durango to check and see the gathering of motorcycles lining the Main Street this year.

Before we head out of here, we would like to wish J. T. Colon a Happy Birthday today, September 7, 2009.

HAPPY LABOR DAY to ALL! If you don't have a job to labor yet, we wish and send you hope that you will find one soon!
