NW Okie's Journey

Finally! We found a clearing between snowstorms in southwest Colorado and Albuquerque, New Mexico for traveling down to Houston, Texas for New Years with special friends. Also escaping the frigid temperatures of the Rockies on these old bones.

How many of you have streets in your community named "Flynn Street" or Flynn Avenue?" We found some interesting history concerning Dennis Flynn for whom those "Flynn Streets" were named.

Walking With Sweet Silly Sadie Dawg

Woof! Woof! That's what this Sadie Dawg has to say about "Storm Goliath." A few days after SW Colorado got pounded with a couple of feet of snow, we see that Northwest Oklahoma received some freezing rain and snow around 27 December 2015. As seen in the digital photo from our weather cam in Alva, Oklahoma.

We've got some 1907 baseball legacies in this week's OkieLegacy Ezine/Tabloid.

Snow Storms of 1900s

We went searching in the archives for "snowstorms of 1900." That lead us to The New York Times, New York, NY, 18 February 1900, Sunday, page 7, to the following snow storms.

October 1900 - Free Homes Not All

In The Wichita Daily Eagle, Wichita, Kansas, 28 October 1900, Sunday, page 10, we found the following headlines: "Free Homes Not All," "Other Things in Which Oklahoma Needs Flynn," Land Questions Many," and "No Man So Able to Handle Them As Present Delegate." - written by R. H. Faxon.

February 1907 - The Ball Season

It was in The Houston Post, Houston, Texas, 24 February, Sunday, page 20, that we found this article concerning "The Ball Season." It was soon to crack open and players would begin to arrive. The Cardinals would be there next week. Houston would have a fine aggregation of ball players that year and should make a strong bid for the rag.

August 1907 - Austin Senators & McGill (Pitcher)

We did some more searching for Grandpa Bill McGill's 1907 baseball career for the South Texas League with the Austin Senators. What we did find was that McGill was not pitching as well as he had in the last season.

This was also a couple of months before we find McGill pitching in September, 1907 for the St. Louis Browns of St. Louis, Missouri.
