Smut and eggs. I mean everybody watches porn while eating breakfast, right? Am I right? Who's with me?

Around my place its usually the deer fornicating in the front yard, or the turkey playing like the boys at the bar on Saturday night struttin' their stuff around the wimmin.

So, yeah, I watch that when eating wheaty's.

a friend of mine from the 1st grade had the only large chunk of arcadia that aubrey didn't buy. they were on the verge of making a deal when he had the margin call several years back. the deals he made with people back then included way overpaying for the property then allowing the owners to live there for the rest of their lives, rent free, maintenance free. his family on the wife's side certainly wouldn't be hurting for money, he married into the robert s. kerr family.

i know exactly where the wreck happened, it's on a sweeping t intersection on memorial road and midwest blvd, the "bridge" is actually an I44 underpass and very narrow, built a very long time ago. large trucks traveling north towards the intersection have almost run me over several times, they must think they're nascar drivers.

perhaps he was a crook and had some underhanded dealings, but the people i know around arcadia were treated and dealt with generously.

as for the earthquakes, i've lived in edmond for most of my 70 years, i remember we had earthquakes before i started first grade, used to shake stuff off the wall.

This is from Linda Cavenaugh. I couldn't agree more and have a slight amount of first hand knowledge of his anonymous donations the the community. He also encouraged his employees at CHK to volunteer which many did and he still paid their salaries. Some of you people make me ashamed to have associated myself with you. The man's family deserves far more than you pukes are giving them.

Aubrey McClendon changed Oklahoma City. His thoughtfulness and generosity revitalized charities and causes that served hundreds of thousands who needed help. And, most never knew he was responsible.

His extraordinary vision changed the oil and natural gas industry. And, in doing so, provided well-paying jobs to so many Oklahoma families.

I didn't know Aubrey well personally. But I know his parents, who are among the most thoughtful, kind people imaginable. Their grief must be engulfing.

As the story unfolds---and I know there are detractors---we should take a moment to appreciate what Aubrey contributed to OKC. And, offer our consolation to his family.

Here, but occasionally There.
I thought that rarely happened anymore.

Somebody else commented that they heard it was a CNG vehicle, are they highly susceptible to bursting into flames on impact?

While I'm not familiar with the fuel tanks for CNG, it is a pressure vessel like an LPG tank. Strength of the steel and thickness could be a factor in "breaching" the tank in an accident. If the tank is "breached" that gas will fuel a fire caused by any kind of spark or flame, and it will burn until that source of fuel is consumed or contained in some other manner. I'm also no expert on automobile crash dynamics, but I'd think that the tank could have been breached by looking at how messed up that Tahoe looks to be.

I wouldn't call that bridge/underpass he hit anything like a sweeping T intersection, Its not on Memorial road, its Midwest blvd between Memorial and 122nd, hell its .2 miles N before you hit memorial at the cross road. He hit the bridge abutement from the S side heading N on MW blvd, I live on 122nd near Midwest blvd, i drive under that bridge all the time, he had almost .8 mile of pretty open gently sloped road to negotiate under that overpass, I am not passing judgment.....just saying, now coming from the N heading south...yes its a bit more of a turn but not treacherous by any stretch, did notice tonight that someone has already put up a cross at the spot, I looked at the concrete wall he hit, barely made a mark, that concrete support is THICK
