ICED TULSA: THE DAMAGE DONE

Yes, I know. More gloomy pictures of trees mutilated in the big icestorm in Tulsa.

This one reminds me somehow of the jungle pictures of Henri Rousseau. Go figure.

These pictures were not taken by me. They were taken by Mrs. Dr. Omed's co-workers.

These pictures convey, more than my own, the catastrophic nature of the damage done to the trees of Tulsa.

A TENT SHOW REVIVAL:

CHURCH SIGN ROUND-UP

Dr. Omed passes Beams of Light Family Church on the way to his day job most mornings. The apothegms on their sign provides amusement and/or bemusement and/or fast food for thought on a regular basis. The one you see above caught my eye and caused me to make a rather sudden turn across a lane of traffic into their parking lot. It hit me upside the head like a fried catfish, like a corn pone Okie Zen Koan—what did it mean?

Though Dr. Omed was not on the road to Damascus, pilgrims and seekers, I was mugged by a semi-revelatory petit-epiphany (Have you noticed that revelations frequently don't reveal anything?)—The message on the sign revealed to me an inspiration: that I must revive an old feature of the Tent Show that some of my regular congregants may remember, the Sunday Church Show Round-up. Yes, I know it's Wedesday, this is the teaser. Although I have not posted a Church Sign Round-up for a couple of years, I never stopped taking pictures of church signs, so I've got a lot of them saved up. Look for a full round-up on next Sunday—with hushpuppies and coleslaw. Virtually.
