Heather and I had some personal business to attend to first thing in the morning so we drove Logan up to his school in east Tulsa and then drove to south of south Tulsa to the &#8216;burb of Bixby. Bixby is growng really fast and they have done a piss poor job of planning (&#8220;&#8216;excuse my French&#8221;) because they have only one major north south street and so things get pretty tied up. We got there a little late but then we had to wait. So &nbsp;guess we were early not late.<\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/13138989815\/\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"@thedianasblog #DianaPhotoApp #DianaPhoto #DoubleExposure #Diana #photoApp #myEdit #like #camera #vintage #art #insta #instaphoto #hipster #gradient #yolo #niceone #pinkphoto #friends #alternative #oneokplaza #downtowntulsa #igersok by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"@thedianasblog #DianaPhotoApp #DianaPhoto #DoubleExposure #Diana #photoApp #myEdit #like #camera #vintage #art #insta #instaphoto #hipster #gradient #yolo #niceone #pinkphoto #friends #alternative #oneokplaza #downtowntulsa #igersok\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/13138989815_c4fcd502c9_z-300x300.jpg\" height=\"640\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">This is a double exposure. I used an Ipod Touch App called &#8220;Diana.&#8221; It takes two random photographs and mashes them together. You just keep shaking the device until you get something you like. I would say that only about one out of twenty combinations is halfway interesting. Still kind of fun to play with.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Then we drove back home and I drove downtown to work. And then to north Tulsa to Tulsa Country Club for the Natural Gas and Energy Association of Oklahoma Meeting and some networking. There I met our just retired CEO in the parking lot. I think he was going golfing, it was strange seeing him all casually dressed. Nice guy, very intense but a very nice guy.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/13139141134\/\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"#fireescape #downtowntulsa #igersok by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"#fireescape #downtowntulsa #igersok\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/13139141134_a09724b0dd_z-300x300.jpg\" height=\"640\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">I don&#8217;t know what it is but I love the fire escapes in the old buildings downtown.

Confused customers are not happy customers in my opinion. My coworker that drove was just winging it on the location of the customer&#8217;s office so we went round and round for a bit. We drove by Logan&#8217;s friend Doc&#8217;s house at one point. We got there, and unconfused the customer I think.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/13118511963\/\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"Downtown Tulsa from the &quot;Spider&quot; on Turkey Mountain by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Downtown Tulsa from the &quot;Spider&quot; on Turkey Mountain\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/13118511963_35405af8dc_z-300x225.jpg\" height=\"480\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Downtown Tulsa from the south end of Turkey Mountain Park.

Our policies and procedures cover everything under the sun so if they wanted me to read email they would have a policy in place telling me to do so. Do you feel less of me for not reading my work email? Information Overload is what I call it. The youngin&#8217;s don&#8217;t bother with email either.
