Since Wednesday of this week, our mornings have been cloudy with a break of clouds towards the afternoon after a few inches of snow has fallen.

BUT... the temperatures are slowly rising above freezing in the afternoons and more expected next week. While the valley areas might get a couple of inches of snow, the high elevations have seen another foot or so of snow piling up on their roofs this week.

I just took a glance at my calendar and realized this February 2008 is one of those "Leap Years." There was a girl in my class that was born on February 29, 1948. If those born on February 29th had a birthday every four years, then she would have had 15 birthdays compared to my own 60 birthdays. This NW Okie came popping out 4 days before the end of February 1948. I am coming up on my 60th birthday this Monday, February 25th!

Well! Finally, we lost our $2.99.9 regular gas prices as the gas stations in Southwest Colorado raised their prices this week. Saturday gas prices in Bayfield, Colorado were at an all time high, starting with $3.21.9 for regular. I suppose Oklahoma's gas prices must be lower than Colorado's gas prices by about 20-cents or so. What is it in your neck of the woods?

Before I head out of here, one of my readers wanted me to remind you that this 2008 year is an election year as we go to the polls to elect a NEW, different President.

I am NOT going to be one of those who tells you how to VOTE! I just want you to decide for yourself and do NOT let others tell you how to think or vote! It is important that you make that decision yourself ... GET INVOLVED & VOTE!

It is time that we get involved with our government before the special interest groups, lobbyists take it over for their own special gains! DO NOT FORGET TO VOTE!

It's important for whom you vote, BUT... not nearly as important as just casting a vote. That gives you the license to agree or disagree with whomever is elected!
