When stocks were 3x what they are now I thought I should just wait it out. Change of plans.

Devon's wrapped in plastic and swarming with security from what I'm hearing.

I bet that little bar across from the parking garage does a hell of a business tomorrow. Should open at 8:00 am if they're smart.

I guess 100 got the axe today, that leaves 600 tomorrow. Yikes.

Yeah it's crazy. I'm wondering how much all of this will affect Oklahomas economy.

The nature of the beast, no matter how much most of us dislike it. The oil patch has been cyclic since it started. Some benefit with low energy prices, some suffer because of job loss.

Well I heard the other day it's to the tune of $1.3 Billion donero just out of the State's budget. And I just read that it's up to 14,000 jobs. I don't know if they are counting the contractors and other "domino" jobs either. Doubtful though.

Yet, today in the Ponca City News, ODOT announced a million dollar plus grant to Ponca City for a stupid walking/jogging trail starting in town and going to Lake Ponca.

Every time we go to Tulsa on 412, passing through Sand Springs, I comment that over the years we have never seen one person using those trails. Its a stupid boondoggle.

Realize that 80% of the funding for ODOT projects comes from Federal sources, while only 20% comes from the State.

Ponca city has to put up $450,000 to get the funds. Stupid project for the use of very few people. The city is covered in sidewalks and parks with existing walking trails.

Well, thatll give them someplace to walk and admire the beauty of nature......
