An Interesting Week

NOTE: this was written about 24 hours ago but would not upload to Blogger, hope it is all OK now.

This has been an interesting week. Friday was the 100th anniversary of the state of Oklahoma so at the college that I work at we had a number of free events. While the bar-b-que on Tuesday was nice, Wednesday was the high point of the week. Any one who lived in Oklahoma for 30 years or more will remember a weather man named Don Woods. Well as part of the Oklahoma Centenial he came to the college and was drawing his trademark Gusty cartoons (for free). He would always close his forecasts with Dusty reacting to the weather forecast he just gave. Gusty it seems is the official cartoon of Oklahoma so that was the tie to the centennial celebration. While he drew a lot of the same ones for most people, I stopped and talked to him for a moment since it was a slow time. He had been an adjunct at another campus of our college teaching weather, and he and I traded our experiences as teachers. When it came time for him to draw mine, he asked me what I wanted Gusty to be doing. Well, I work with computers, so I asked him to do one at a computer. I am now the proud owner of a Gusty typing at a computer. If I get a chance I will scan it in and post it some time soon. For now check out Gusty and Don's web site. On the artwork pages there is one of Gusty at a computer. Mine is like that but not in color.

Of course, being that Friday was the anniversary, all state institutions were closed. Guess who had a day off. As you can tell I had a lot of time to look at news stories and post my comments about them. I will make up for it cause at 8AM I have to be there for the Saturday classes.

Anyway. More later. I do have a new blog to talk about but it will wait till I get some sleep.
