Trip to the Far East

I had to go to Tahlequah today with a client, Mike. A trip to the Far East... part of Oklahoma. I have worked on several projects with an architect from the Choctaw Nation. He works with the Creek, Cherokee and Chickasaw Nations, also. We are working on a new classroom building for Sequoyah High School in Tahlequah. The high school football stadium was constructed in the 1960's and the Cherokees want to replace it. They wanted me to inspect the stadium and let them know if there were any structural problems. Actually, I believe they were hoping I'd condemn it as unsafe. But that is not the case. There are some water leak issues, but the stadium is ok although it is old and not particularly aesthetically attractive. Kinda like most small high schools in Oklahoma. About a five hour round trip for a two hour inspection.

I forgot how great that part of Oklahoma really is. Beautiful country.

Mike and I stopped at a Mexican restaurant for lunch after the inspection. There was a family having lunch. As we walked by their table, I waved at a little boy about Oliver's age. After we ordered, I looked toward that table and the little guy was staring at me. I waved again and he grinned really big. Kinda cute.

Debbie's supervisor was out of the office today and tomorrow. She made Debbie acting supervisor while she's out. Debbie said three people called in sick. LOL. I told Debbie she's too big a hard ass compared to her supervisor and the other workers didn't want to work there. That's not true really, because Debbie is easy to get along with and her coworkers like her alot.

Watching a history channel show on jellyfish. Strange creatures. I didn't know that box jellyfish were deadly to humans. I didn't know they have eyes. One of the scientists is convinced the jellyfish stalk their prey. whoa.

Have a good one.
