You know what it's like when you go out of town for a week? And your pets are left on their own? And you know that one of your friends or siblings will be stopping by to feed your pets, but ya still kinda worry about them anyway? Well, that's kinda the way I've felt about Tulsa since we moved. And now I feel that I have even more reason to be concerned. Check this out.

And no, that is not "channels" as in television stations. These people are proposing that islands be built in the Arkansas River. For some reason, this idea makes my nose wrinkle (probably because it sounds expensive). I mean, it could be good, but it feels a little gimmicky. What do you think?
In other news, I found a couple of L.A. citizens (who are not george or Derek or even Tara) who like Tulsa just fine as-is. Granted, they were only there for one night, but it's still nice that they had such positive things to say.

i'm getting a shirt, damnit. i need it for my new home! drooling in anticipation of your visit home, even though we won't be there... we'll go vicariously through you.
i have 2 comments regard "the Channels":
1 - muddy ground is not good place to build hi-rises. the amound of work necesary to put a stable footing under the towers is immense. do-able, but bound to take longer and be more difficult than first immagined (read as: EXPENSIVE and BUDGET OVER RUNS)
2 - the freaking river stinks. the arkansas river flows down from... Arkansas... home of the Tyson chicken plant. the nitrogen levels are through the roof, and feeds bacteria etc. we've all heard the warnings not to eat anything that comes out of that river. Now they want to put thousands of homes in the middle of it?
me thinks this is ain't gonna happen.
