On the Papago reservation, south of Phoenix, Ariz., there is a small fenced in area that contains one small building. The sign on the fence says Property of U.S. Navy. No Trespassing. I believe that it is a surfacing point for the Navy's fleet of miniature submersibles that patrol the nation's aquifers.

Five people killed in a jetboat collision on Lake Texoma. The victims were part of a poker run, a game in which participants get a playing card at different stops winning if they have the best poker hand at the end. One boat struck the other in the side. There were two people on one boat and four on the other, with only one survivor. There were only pieces left of the boat that was struck.

Big Stick Brewing Company (Pete's) in Krebs, Oklahoma, home of Choc Beer and great Italian food, has come up with a new brew, Texas SUX Beer. Why yes, Texas does indeed suck... beer.
I found out about it from my local pub, The Beer Hunter. I have yet to try it, as I am not willing to stray from my Miller Lite.

Snyder, Oklahoma police chief, mayor, and a councilman quit over the uproar over the nude photos of the chief's 300 pound tattooed wife were published on the internet.
If the pointy hat fits wear it... and nothing else.

Snyder police chief drew his last paycheck, $20,000. The extra large paycheck on his annual salary of $32,760 was due to comp time earned in previous years. That's probably a lot more than his wife earned for the nude photos.

Apparently having a wet spot on the ground on the drivers side of your car is probable cause for a police stop... er, pursuit. I suppose the point was moot when the suspect (?) failed to stop when the officer turned on his "emergency lights", fleeing at high speeds. They didn't catch him though, Ada police officer Jeremy O’Brien discontinued the pursuit when he drove his vehicle through a barbed wire fence, damaging the fence. During the same pursuit, just west of O’Brien’s crash, Konawa officer Donnie Meaders also ran through the fence and struck a telephone box. Maybe more high speed pursuit training is in order?

Sheriff McMullin of Chickasha is refusing calls to resign after several sheriff's officers and Chickasha police officers were either present when the alcohol board officers raided the Chickasha Elks Club for illegal gambling, or they were seen gambling during the investigation. Confession: I won $40 from a nickel slot machine at the VFW in Woodward, Oklahoma, thoroughly pissing off the lady behind me that was waiting for that machine.

...two Tahlequah band students killed a racoon with machetes at Arrowhead State Park and are now in hot water over it. They face possible suspension or expulsion for posession of a weapon at a school function, hunting a furbearing animal out of season. They could be fined as much as $1174 each for their multiple offenses, all misdemeanors.
I thought raccoons were nuisance animals that could be hunted any time.
Not according to state hunting regulations. Raccoons can only be killed from Dec. 1st to Jan. 31st. Skunks, nutria, beaver, and coyotes can be hunted any time with no limits.

That's another problem they face. Traps, guns of nearly any caliber, and archery are legal, but machetes, thowing stars, knives, rocks and sharpened sticks are straight out.

There were two people on one boat and four on the other, with only one survivor. There were only pieces left of the boat that was struck.
Investigators found that the boats were traveling at 100 mph when they collided. They won't know if alcohol was a factor until they get the toxicology report back, but no alcohol was found in the coolers of "Nashville Katz", the boat that struck the "Flash Gordon". Both of the boats were powerful enough to attain speeds as high as 150 mph, but both drivers were known for being cautious, so nobody knows why former drag racer Gordon Mineo suddenly turned in front of Bruce Gibson's boat, which basically drove right through Mineo's boat. Mineo, his wife, another couple, and Gibson's wife were killed in the accident. Gibson remains hospitalized in fair condition and doesn't remember anything of the accident.

Tulsa man, who bit off his girlfriend's nose, gets five years in prison for that crime. The official charge he was convicted on was felony maiming. With boyfriends like that, who needs enemies?

Sapulpa man puts up an odd monument to liberty. It's a seven foot tall Statue of Liberty with a styrofoam representation of the WTC towers in place of the torch. How gauche.

Tattoo parlors are finally legal in Oklahoma, but they're already bitching about having to follow the rules established by the new law legalizing their business, rules such as having to pay $250 per artist license fee, having to purchase a $100,000 surety bond, and having to be at least 1000 feet from schools, playgrounds, and churches.

The movie is scheduled to open in December. Like his other recent movie, Jesus Chainsaw Massacre, all spoken parts are in some dead or near-dead language from another era, hopefully with subtitles.
