Who you calling




So I go to the E.R. this morning and they ask me "What's your emergency?" I says
"My emergency is that it's really cold outside!"

I managed to get out of there before the authorities arrived, but no help with the
cold weather. What a change, right?





I have very little time to Tick today, but I just wanted to Tock about what a
cruel joke winter has played on us. And as far as yesterday goes, certainly not
as bad as it could have been. Not perfect, but at least we saw rain and a lot fewer
severe reports than I expected.





It was certainly exciting though. Our next bout of raised blood pressure comes
on Saturday with another chance of severe weather as we warm up through that
period.





And don't forget the eclipse! Things are looking a little precarious for viewing.
It's certainly not hopeless, but there will be a storm system around the region
around that time frame, so the timing will be a bit questionable for a few more
days. My guess is that a lot of optometrists are hoping for the more dismal
view of the forecast.





Springtime in Oklahoma! When's it gonna snow?
