The wind does come sweepin down the plain!

Yes it does get kind of windy. I went out last weekend and dug for Selenite crystals on the Salt Plains. They have a cool horseshoe formed inside and this only occurs in this one spot on earth. I went with a plan to stay a little while but got addicted and rubbed a nasty blister on my palm. Yesterday I went to the Standing Bear Pow-wow with several tribes represented. That was interesting and very cool. I was wowed by the honor they placed on service members. There was an Air Force guy and a Marine who is about to deploy. They honored them greatly. They honored veterans and spent a lot of time focusing on the Flag, Military Service and when they prayed it was to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Go figure. The sunsets are beautiful and the skies are big. I think I will enjoy OK. Next week I am going to OKCity and look forward to that.

Now I am in Oklahoma. nothing new going on. A 30 yr HS class reuniuon was interesting and nicely put together. Spending time with Blake and jumping off a bridge (much to the dismay of my old neck) was a good time. But now, it has been rainy and damp for the 3 days I have been here. I know there is good stuff to do and things I dont see a lot of in Pensacola. The Great Plains, buffalo ranges, cowboys and indians, etc. I look forward to the next 6 weeks, but will be kind of glad to get home again and, except for the trip to Israel in November, focus on my homestead and relax. I am sure more will come over the next weeks.
