Dear Duchess

June 2009 is almost gone and July is just around the corner. For many in the small rural community of Dacoma, Oklahoma, that means staging a 3rd of July picnic and blowout of fireworks in their community park a day before Independence Day, July 4, 2009.

NW Okie was telling me about the crowds from all around Northwest Oklahoma pouring into Dacoma on the 3rd of July for their Annual community Blowout and Fireworks. NW Okie misses seeing those spectacular fireworks of Dacoma's 3rd of July Blowout. If you get down to Dacoma, OK, on the 3rd of July this year, get some photos of the crowds, fireworks and say "Hello" to the Larry and Beth Leslie family from the Colorado Wagners.

We have heard from some readers that they like the "eZine" version of "The OkieLegacy" better so they can scroll down through the whole thing at once. How do some of our other readers feel? Do you like the "Tabloid" or the "eZine" version?

Last week we had a digital photograph of a sunset at the North Pole, we found out that it was a purely digital creation. As far as we know, it is a work titled "Hideaway," produced by a 22-year-old German astrophysics student named Inga Nielsen using Terragen scenery rendering software. Thanks to those who sent us the "Snopes.com" information concerning that digital creation.

We hear it has been heating up into the three-digits back in Oklahoma and the humidity doesn't help any ... except to make the air heavy to breathe. NW Okie will think of you while she is in the cooler climate and mountains of the San Juans, in SW Colorado. Lately, the highest temps we have had here range in the 80s during the day and drop to the 50s in the evening. The air is quite a bit drier and easier for breathing, also. This morning at 9 a.m. the temperature was still at 63.5 and the humidity was at 52%. We just had a 1.5 inch of rain Friday of last.

We will probably drive up towards Vallecito Lake to watch the 4th of July Fireworks next Saturday. Where ever you travel, have a Great, Safe 4th of July this year. If you are in NW Oklahoma on the 3rd of July, stop over at Dacoma's community park and join in the all-day festivities and fireworks.
