Isn't 28 years on the TMAPC long enough?

[dbacks fan]

Well I'm not 30 yet (26 days)  and i'm separated from my second wife.  Do you feel younger or just wiser?

Wiser? Who knows, we were divorced in '87, I waited until '99 to do it again only to be serated 11 years later and going through it again.

Nope, being single leads to expensive (aviation) hobbies when there is no one to spend your money before you do.

Yes , but with an airplane, or in my case a car, it's not going to run back to an old boyfriend.

As long as you own the airplane or car outright you are correct.   Look out if you are making payments.

Paid it off this year, and got her name off of the title.

Do it in something beside $1 bills.  A quick check indicates that it takes about 2200 lbs of  $1 bills to make a $1 Million.  You're going to want more than that.

Congrats.

I had a car payment once.  Didn't like it at all.  So, now I don't do that...  (no payment is the up side).

The downside is that I drive an old pickup truck.

The balance definitely leans to the "no payment" side.  Am now looking for another old pickup truck just like it to buy and not make payments on....

So, TMAPC term limits?

[GG]

I don't remember it that well.. but I was 8 after all.

I remember it well, kinda.   I was a robust 32 years old in 1984.   That was during my Outlaw Country Music phase.   That is why I kinda remember it.

What was going on around the time Mr. Gail Carnes was appointed?  Some pretty heady times for T-town....

"The Only Thing Missing Is U' Ads Trying to Lure Workers to Tulsa

(AP) "T_LSA. The only thing missing is U." So read newspaper advertisements that appeared in Buffalo newspapers as Tulsa , OK, began a drive to attract nurses and other skilled workers from this area.

A team of recruiters from 10 of Tulsa's top companies and hospitals will be in Buffalo March 12-14 to interview people interested in making a move to Tulsa, a city of about 400,000.

"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."
― George Orwell, 1984

... I remember driving home from OKC for Memorial Day weekend in 1984.... horrible flood hit the entire city, not just Mingo Creek -- cars piled on top of each other off I-44--- finally forced the city (under Mayor Terry Young) to take action...

 

Tulsa's world-class flood control system, and how it saves you money
http://www.krmg.com/news/news/local/tulsas-world-class-flood-control-system-and-how-it/nPLsy/

By 1984, Tulsa led the nation in disaster declarations, and not because of tornadoes -- because of flooding, the deadliest form of natural disaster.
Now, Tulsa is a model to the nation, and indeed the world, on how to handle flood plain management, a fact that many Tulsans who don't remember how things used to be taken for granted.

...the summer of 1984... after my freshman year at OCU, I coaxed my college roommate into going to see the Tulsa Roughnecks versus the New York Cosmos... the only reason he went?  To see the Beach Boys concert after the game...

...then came the oil bust, the S&L debacle, etc... I dunno, seems like there should be at least a few city and county officials who can offer some sobering, realistic insight on what has been tried before... Mark Andrus at Expo Square comes to mind...
