Friends of Charlie and Barbara ...

We are still in Norman, OK. B/C decided that after experiencing a record 21 straight days of rain (old record 14 days), they should stay to enjoy the good weather. I think that Norman has experienced their annual rainfall of 32” in the past six months.

The weather has produced a greener than green landscape, more vivid and just as picturesque as the Pennsylvania Dutch country B/C visited last fall. This panorama was shot and stitched together today. (Subsequently I find that it won't enlarged when you click)






One of the big past-times in the area is softball. In fact Oklahoma City has the Softball Hall of Fame and this weekend international men’s and women’s fast-pitch championships were held in OKC with the American Women the team to beat.





We attended was a Norman adult slow-pitch game with particular interest in Eric Spor, Emma-Lou and Leroy’s son, who played 1st base and was team captain.

They lost in extra innings 15 to 13.


The other news is that Leroy Spor just bought a new Vista HP computer system to replace his old system and to better complement his broad-band internet connection. Really nice; he even let me play with it a short while.




… Humphrey, for Charlie and Barbara
