What do you think is the best way to spend a beautiful spring day in Tulsa?

[jacobi]

Somehow, in my opening discription I managed to omit the grilling and consuption of copius quantities of animal flesh.  As fatty as possible please!

The best way, or the what actually happens? If it's the former, I'd enjoy sitting out on the swing while watching the birds and the tree rats fight it out in my neighbor's yard. If it's the latter, I'll be getting a fantastic tan from my monitor while I beat computers into submission instead. It never fails that someone has an "emergency" the minute I try to do anything that doesn't involve sitting in my office chair.

The opening caveat was "No Work!'  squrill is your poison

It starts at around 7:am on a friday before work starts.  I hit Google Earth and find little ponds locked in by fields or neighborhoods.  I then take my lunch hour to drive as close as I can get to them and scout the area to make sure I can access them, and that they are not posted or fenced. 

Saturday morning at 5:30 am just before the sun rises I set off with my gear, waders, and coffee thermos and fish until the sun rises.  Usually it's silent, beautiful and none of the world's problems can touch me.  By 8:00 I am back home making breakfast for the wife and kids.  If I'm lucky, dinner includes my catch.

back in the day when I lived in cities with a real rush-hour...me an a buddy would get up early, load a cooler in the back seat, and sit in traffic chugging beers and laughing at the suits.  I don't remember what we did the rest of the day...but I always woke up around 6 or 7p, pants around ankles and a nagging case of hemmoroid.

Trespasser!!  Breaking the law?  Doesn't sound like a good, moral, upstanding thing to do.  I bet many would allow you if you just asked....


And no - Oklahoma law does not require a property to have "No Trespassing" signs to be considered posted.  It is defined that all property is considered posted regardless of signage - the law was changed several years ago.

And now that I'm back in my hometown without a real rush-hour, I think an ideal spring day would just be me.  loading a cooler in the back seat, chugging beers and off-roading my jeep on un-posted private lands.

Ahhh...now we see one symptom of your psychosis...talking to yourself!!  You fit in well here!


Another good way to spend a beautiful spring day in Tulsa - for the next few days anyway - is to leave town midday and go to Honor Heights park to see the azaleas.  Pale shadow of their former glory, but still beautiful.

Woody is spinning in his grave!!

Let's see here now... since you brought up the topic of cult movies....  Brewster McCloud?

Woody may have written it but I remember Arlo singing it. I thought Arlo wrote it too.

Don't remember Brewster McCloud.  I checked your link. I guess I was too busy studying to keep from getting drafted before my time.

Paul McCready did the designs for the man-powered plane that was first successful.  I forget the name of the long standing award he won.  He also did the design for the man-powered plane that crossed the English Channel.  I don't know that Paul did all the details but he was the head honcho.

Chugging beers and driving around in todays PC World. Oh the shame of it all. What next, displaying peace signs and smoking grass ?

Arlo wrote it and sang it and made the movie.  Woody was key to the process - the surprising part is that is seemed like you were a fan!


That is what was so good about getting a 360 or so on the draft lottery!
