. like Austin 15 years ago

That's an interesting comment.

I have lived in Austin for the last 22 years.

I have heard several friends complained about what it has become. The usual gripe : more people, more traffic, more expensive.

All true.

But there wasn't a Costco back 15 years ago.

I just adapt and carry on with life. That's the "price of success", ain't nuthin' you can do about it.

Hmmm. You have my attention...

Honestly, I've been to Tulsa a couple of times on fast business trips (and one car purchase) but haven't had a chance to really sample what it had to offer. It's been on my radar for 20 years, but I just haven't taken enough time to wander around and experience the area.

I had to google MAGA. I guess that tells you where I stand on that and/or how much I like politics.

Now you'll have to buy a baseball cap with it emblazoned all over it, like the POTUS, so you won't forget what it means.

it's a "trucker hat", not a "baseball hat"....you know, the kind you buy at gas station convenience stores....;-)


"A trucker hat, mesh cap or netback cap is a type of baseball cap. It is also sometimes known as a "gimme [as in 'give me'] cap" or a "feed cap" because this style of hat originated during the 1960s as a promotional give-away from U.S. feed or farming supply companies to farmers, truck drivers, or other rural workers....During the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump popularized a red mesh trucker hat featuring the slogan Make America great again among Republican Party supporters."

I love these threads. Lived here my whole life and I can't recall ever seeing someone out in the general public wearing a MAGA hat. Maybe I just haven't been looking for them. I have seen some very comical bumper stickers tho.

Never seen or been in a Tornado. We have a shelter in our Garage, but I've yet to go in it because I'm always looking out the window or in the backyard when the sirens go off because I want to see one of the damn things.

This state used to be Blue, but like most of the country has turned red. I don't pay much attention to it as it is impolite to ask or talk about except in certain situations. I have friends on both sides and expect for a bro-in-law exploding at one Christmas gathering most people are civil.

Dust storm/drought? Boll weevil outbreaks? Cricket plagues? Alien abduction? Never saw any of these? I may have to adjust my disaster model for your state...

None of those tasty things but we did have earthquakes there for a bit here recently. Turns out it was just from wastewater injection when fracking and they went away. Kinda cool feeling when I look back on it.
