Duchess NW Domain

When the winds come sweeping down the plains . . . The Northwest Oklahomans living around the area of Ft. Supply and perhaps Buffalo, Oklahoma, in the vicinity of highway 183, might get their electrical power generated from these "Wind Turbines!"

Except, On Friday, October 1, 2010, late morning, along highway 183, somewhere between Ft. Supply and Buffalo, Oklahoma these turbines were not moving too fast and some not at all. One was being worked on at the ground base. AND . . . Friday morning there was very little breeze, if any, Friday morning, on the first day of October.

Did you Oklahomans like the cool weather we conjured up after we arrived in Northwest Oklahoma? Hear tell Wednesday should bring a slight warming trend back up to the 80s.

NW Okie says this Duchess Pug (that is me) snores louder and more in the Oklahoma plains than I do in the Colorado Rockies! Who knew!

How many "baby boomers" out there grew up watching the actor, Tony Curtis, on the movie screen? Curtis was one of my favorite actors! Especially, the movie, Defiant Ones, with Sidney Poitier. I did not realize until after reading the article about Tony Curtis, he served in the Pacific during World War II. Now I wish I could go back -- see if my Uncle, Major Robert Lee McGill, ever bumped paths with Curtis while he was stationed for a time in the Pacific during WWII.
