You want to know what the miracle cure is for almost anything. I bet you already what it is. You make an appointment to go see the doctor about it and you get cured about an hour before your appointment. It works every time!!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSCN3063 by alnbbates, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/16451571297\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8599\/16451571297_ea86ac7967_z.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN3063\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Wednesday night was kind of cool but there was hardly any wind and the river was very smooth.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSCN3067 by alnbbates, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/16451550547\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8659\/16451550547_f2ce08077c_z.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN3067\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I ran past the University Club Tower. Just so you know, it is the eighth tallest building in Tulsa. You never know when a little tidbit of knowledge like will come in handy.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Where East Meets West by alnbbates, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/16451535167\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8653\/16451535167_7b8171a0dd_z.jpg\" alt=\"Where East Meets West\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I got up to the far north end of the River Trails and went over to check out &#8220;Where East Meets West&#8221; a sculpture in honor of Cyrus Avery, the father of route 66. I approached it cautiously because at night I didn&#8217;t want to be accosted by homeless people looking for a handout. I got close and I was about to take this photo I saw this guy walking quickly\u00a0over in my direction with a big smile on his face. I knew what was going to be next. A pitch about some plight he was in and an invitation to help. I&#8217;ve been through it a million times and no thanks, I don&#8217;t want to go through it again especially in an isolated area in the dark. \u00a0So I snapped the pic and went back across the street and continued my run.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSCN3071 by alnbbates, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/16451525247\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8622\/16451525247_c23b866693_z.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN3071\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was my first run in two weeks and parts of the trail were blocked off for construction so I called it quits after three miles.<\/p>\n<p>So, the question of the day is: Have you ever experienced the miracle cure?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday night after work I went to go running on the trails along the Arkansas River here in Tulsa.
