It is great. Thanks George Kaiser of Kaiser-Francis Oil Company and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gkff.org\/\">George Kaiser Family Foundation<\/a>. They <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tulsaworld.com\/news\/article.aspx?subjectid=11&amp;articleid=20090322_11_A13_Christ69872\">wrote a check <\/a>for the whole thing, about $12.4 million. Incredible generosity.<\/p>\n<p>It has separate paths, for much of the way, for runners and bikers. I always dreaded a head on collision with a bike while running at night. This should cut the chances of collsions.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_N9eiiCEvwfc\/SgJVAMrq2eI\/AAAAAAAABlY\/wdy0A5LLDEE\/s1600-h\/20090506_14.JPG\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/20090506_15.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332918367019370690\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/20090506_15-300x225.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Quik Trip Corporation paid for a new play park at 41st street. It is incredible. I&#8217;m such an old fart that this is the third play park built at this location since I moved here. The one they tore down is the new one. This newer one is wonderful. It has splash pads. I love splash pads. I love Quik Trip. Tulsa kicks some major butt on convenience stores. Quik Trip rocks. When SuperPizzaBoy and I go geocaching we get hungry, so we have geocaching lunches at QT. Hot dogs, chocoloate chip cookies, freezes. Don&#8217;t knock it. Above all don&#8217;t tell Sweetie!!! Shhhh!

Time to go home. Usually I have a couple of malted beverages and a bath. I felt so crappy I had a couple glasses of spicy V8. I enjoyed the running though.
