The Giants Among Us

You have probably driven around and seen these yourself. So this is not going to be anything new.

Like many friends of mine, I have been blessed to live in Oklahoma the great majority of my life. There are many great things about Oklahoma...even the politics are doable. BUT...

On the return trip from Dallas I was just totally disappointed to see The giants Among Us towering over Honey Creek Pass just south of Turner a Falls.




For years we would drive down to (or home from) Dallas and I actually anticipated going over Honey Creek Pass. The geology of it all...the coolness of knowing there were mountain like passes in central Oklahoma. Oh, and the speed of going down the other side!

The wind mill turbin things have certainly changed the pretty factor of it all. The video shows just how
large the "wingspread" of these things are..

Turbines Through Town

It's sad to me...that in the pursuit of pursuing "green" energy, we seem to damage the "visual green" around us. I suppose we'll learn something from it all.

D-Tower in Downtown OKC! NICE!

Up D-Tower

FINALLY!...got to go out with my girls to look at lights and take them to dinner last night!!

We started in Downtown OKC at Devon Tower.  I'd have to say that Devon Tower is pretty incredible to stand next too.  It is, very literally, "larger than life" and is a great place to see, especially during Christmas. 

Big Steel

Downtown OKC's "Downtown in December" still produces the ice skating, snow tubing and other very cool activities...but having the D-Tower to visit is an added bonus! I was told recently (and I recall a newspaper article too) that the company that decorates NYC's Rockefeller Center was hired to decorate for Devon this year. So, this is a must see during Christmas break.  (Don't you wonder what that cost to get done...)

My ladies!

Pretty good lights downtown but nothing like the Chesapeake Campus at 63rd / Western. Those lights are just incredible! Check out this video I took a few years ago...since then it's even better.

Large P-Cones

Ended up eating at Upper Crust (pizza) later last night too! It's basically on the Chesapeake campus at the Classen Curve. Seriously good pizza!! Even saw Bob Barry Jr (local sportscaster)...and the door to the "Dough Room"!

For Bankers Only

My pics are from our visit last night to Devon! Those pine cones are massive and dangling from the center of the tower. And those ornaments were rather large too.

Merry Christmas friends!
