When NW Okie woke me up this Monday morning to let me outside, boy howdy . . . did my little pug paws get a shock when I hit the ground. "Shock?" you ask? What shock could that be? Brrrrrr . . . . At 8am this morning and 32F, in southwest Colorado, my Pug paws stepped off the porch into about an inch of wet snow.

We heard from Mary Hamilton, whose family settled around Pine Valley, Oklahoma, in LeFlore county. It was Mary's grandfather that was the mill superintendent and her uncles and mother grew up at Pine Valley. Mary had copied a piece we ran back in 2002 of our OkieLegacy that Frank Powell had written up regarding Pine Valley, Oklahoma and outlined life around there.

We did find that missing article of 2002 concerning Pine Valley, OK. Over the years it was moved from our okielegacy.net website to our okielegacy.us site - for those also interesting in the "Pine Valley, OK."

Have you been keeping track of James Thurber readings by Keith Olbermann? This week he read Thurber's "University Days."

I have a question for Oklahoma Voters out there! I am only a Pug, so bear with me while this pugster tries to figure out a few things that sociologists are still trying to figure out. Can anyone explain this "Okie Syndrome" of why Oklahomans vote against their own economic interest -- from public school teachers to the state's have-nots.

Good Day & Good Luck!   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
