An Okie in search of enlightenment. Software engineer mostly in #dotnet. My wife and I spent 5 years traveling the U.S. Settled down now in the charming small town of #Guthrie #Oklahoma. I play both the #ukulele and #piano frequently but poorly.

The large nuclear powers are repeating the errors of the Cold War in boosting their arsenals in a dangerous action-reaction dynamic. Not known for intelligent thinking, the Trump regime signals intent to do its part. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/u...

Old guy moment of the day: My NAS is starting to die after 13 years of service and my replacement is arriving today along with two 12 TB drives. Made me reminisce about my first hard-drive purchased around 1985 for about $3000 in 2026 dollars, held 20MB and I thought I would never fill it. #tech

Today is National Puzzle Day. Good luck putting this ice puzzle together from tonight on the Chicago River.
Screen shot from David Holtβs Facebook feed which reads: This morning, I met with the ownership of the property at 2800 S. Council in Southwest Oklahoma City. The owners are not residents of Oklahoma and this is the only property they own in Oklahoma City. The owners of the property at 2800 S. Council confirmed to me this morning that they are no longer engaged with the Department of Homeland Security about a potential acquisition or lease of this property. I commend the owners for their decision and thank them on behalf of the people of Oklahoma City. As Mayor, I ask that every single property owner in Oklahoma City exhibit the same concern for our community in the days ahead.
According to Mayor David Holt, the location being considered as a DHS holding facility is off market do that use after the owners stopped engaging with DHS on the contract.

Text Shot: Couch founded CBC Creative, a Dallas-based branding agency. He also worked as a manager for various touring acts, including the R&B group Color Me Badd, according to the news release.
Even as an Okie who feels the urge to defend local acts, this is not a great one for the resume.

I am old enough to remember when federalism was a key principal of the conservative political philosophy. And yet it is always the left accused of shifting.
Trump says states are required to enforce federal immigration laws. He's wrong.

I think this assessment is quite true. These are the days when the titans of industry cower in terror of the execution of power backed by the threat of violence. Tom Wolfe's Masters of the Universe laid low by the machine of their own making.
