– I simply cannot imagine speaking what it must be like to speak at your spouse’s funeral.  I found this quote very touching.

“I wish you could look in that casket because she’s so beautiful,” said Graham, clinging to his walker. “She was a wonderful woman.”  Link

This part also made me smile:

“God bless all these grandchildren. Some of them I haven’t seen in a long time. Some of them I’ve never seen,” he said, drawing laughter from the audience. “Lots of love to everyone, and thank you.”

I’ m everyone is familiar that over the weekend Tulsa dug up a car that was buried 50 years ago to mark the 50th anniversary of Oklahoma’s statehood.  The result was a car tomb filled with four foot of water and a very ruined car.

Well, it turns out that Tulsa buried another car in 1998:

A 300-thousand-dollar prototype of the 1998 Plymouth Prowler was buried in a time capsule at Centennial Park on 6th Street in January 1998 to commemorate Tulsa’s 100th birthday. It is expected to be unearthed in 2048.

Whenever I think of Tulsa, I’m reminded of a girl that moved from their to my hometown when I was in middle school.  One of the first things she told me was that she was already aware of what Tulsa is spelled backwards.
