I was scared of Downtown Oklahoma City as a small child.  I thought the buildings were going to fall down on me. 

This, of course, was well before the Oklahoma City Bombing. 

I’ve always been precocious. 

I had to pick up something in Downtown Tulsa yesterday. 

Then I had a dream last night that there was a gigantic snake-like-dinosaur-like creature constricting the top of one of the buildings but then also trying to reach me where I was miles away.  It was long and strong. 

There was also a huge bird, at times it looked like Toni’s parakeet. At times it looked like TJ’s old avatar.  Sometimes it was a peacock. Huge.  Building-sized. 

It walked the streets of downtown.  It was trying to kill me and my friends.
