Hope everyone had a great Father’s Day. Mine was excellent even with more monsoonal rains falling in Deer Creek. Another 2.5 inches fell yesterday putting the Deer Creek weather station total at 30 inches of precip since April 1st with half of June still to go.
I burned some brush piles… which I always find refreshing since we moved out here into this dysfunctional HOA which I now somehow find myself the president of. God must feel I need to be punished for something. The burning of brush has become my outlet living here amongst these American Freedom Caucus crazies. Out of the twenty owners only myself and the two black families I would guess didn’t vote for Trump. Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43 would be considered liberals amongst these people. They were too soft with the tax code and Supreme Court nominations I’ve been told…sigh.
I drank a few of the Lone Stars and watched some of the U.S. Open. Then I went to eat at one of my favorite restaurants…Stables in downtown Guthrie with my Mom and two of my nephews. The drive was beautiful as we drove on Highway 33 East taking in the lush Oklahoma countryside. I ordered the Mexi Combo which is stellar and I would highly recommend.
I came home and watched the end of the LA Dodgers 3-2 win over the Chicago Cubs.
Then an ESPN E60 segment came on which featured the story of Ja Morant who is projected to be the second player taken in the NBA draft on Thursday. If you haven’t seen it be sure and watch it when you have the time.
Just a great story and one which features a wonderful narrative of Morant’s relationship with his father and how a bag of potato chips changed their lives.
Thanks, Mike!
It’s a neat story. Russell Westbrook had a neat story—then he signed a max deal and became the usual bore most pro athletes become on their third contract if they’re in the star stratosphere.
