We have teeny, tiny earthquakes. The kind that won't wake you if you have a good mattress.

I have very fond memories of Tulsa. My mother was born there in 1943 and voted the prettiest baby in the state. My great aunt Lois Parnell opened up the Pancake Place on 11th and Utica and introduced all the different pancake syrups to the state. My grandfather ran the place in the summers while school was out and my partner Red remembers her family going there on Sundays after church. My first solo trip as a child on a greyhound bus was traveling to spend the summer with my Pa and Granny. Utica Square was a major event of shopping for me. I so miss the house they owned on Yorktown and the screened in back porch where my army cot and all the items I needed were supplied for my summer vacation. I love the old Tulsa. Cherry Street Market. Went to my first Ms Gay Oklahoma at the old Camelot that has since been torn down. I do have to say it is a little to right winged for me but as always you make what you make with what you have. Can't beat the beauty of Green Country.

Everywhere in Oklahoma is somewhat right-wing. I find it to be more liberal than any other part of the state. I refer to Tulsa as the Austin of Oklahoma.

The Cherry Street market is still hoppin', especially this time of year. I need to go out Saturday and get some fresh Oklahoma blackberries, and other fruit, but Oklahoma grows blackberries like nowhere else!

I don't know about the teeny tiny earthquakes. My parents live near OKC and they sent me this photo of some damage done by the earthquake. Pretty scary if you ask me!

LOL Yes, that is scary. The last time we had them, I was in OKC. One made me wobble a little on the dance floor. Terrifying!

Yes, because immediately afterward everyone was looking at each other, saying, "Did you feel that?" These are a pretty new experience here, so it was immediately followed by, "Earthquake! YAAAAY!"
