?Mad? Mike Hughes dies in rocket crash trying to prove Earth is flat
The earth isn't flat, but now he is.


You owe me a keyboard...

It’s a conspiracy, the gubmet sabotaged his rocket flight to keep from revealing the truth about the flat earth.............



That video reminded me of Evil Knievel?s attempt to jump the Snake River in his steam powered rocket cycle.

Funny, same thing came to my mind.

FYI: Eval Knievel really wanted that jump to be the Grand Canyon, but that fell through.

Moving back to Colorado. Laid off in early Feb due to an acquisition. Got an offer in CO, but OK hasn’t been what we thought or hoped, so this is giving us an out. Looking at this as a reset and we will see what happens in a few years.

That's....semi-fortunate? Having to move twice in about a year is not even on my long list of fun things to do. I wish you well.

Have you been to Oklahoma in the summer? Pretty sure you would jump at the opportunity to get out of there too.

It’s not the heat so much as things like the chiggers, general trashiness outside of Tulsa, etc. Growing up in Florida, I was in the woods more days than not. I never got into chiggers unless it was in Spanish moss. But out here I got eaten alive my first time walking the property once we bought it. Not really into the idea of not accessing 50% of the land 8-9 months out of the year. The other times, it was raining when we came out and I didn’t have issues when I was walking it. A lot of intangible reasons too. My wife was in the ICU with epiglottitis a few weeks ago and the lack of family/friends support was a burden unlike any others we have had, especially with 3 kids 5 and under.

At any rate, we are eating crow and coming back to CO. May be there a year. Maybe til we are old. Who knows. But it’s a known. The area is a known, the work place is a known. It’s a sensible reset.

Yes. My first wife's family is in Tulsa. I can remember driving to visit and not noticing anything until I got out of the car. Humidity hits you in the face and you see the condensation that was on the outside while you had the AC running.

Still not as bad as around Houston, Tx.

general trashiness outside of Tulsa, etc.

Having traveled around to a lot of the Eastern part of this state, I've found that in a lot of places with that "small town vibe" where people have more freedom to be themselves and do what they want, are also usually trashy shitholes, which is unfortunate.

[clodhopper]

Having lived all over (pops was airforce) Coloradans are generally spoiled by the concept of "small town vibe" as the small towns here (particularly mountain towns) are clean, quaint, trendy, and fun. That is NOT typical elsewhere.
