she made it!
So what happened is that there was time for us to just wander around the Greenwood District in Tulsa the other morning. We could tell as soon as we left the hotel that Something Was Going On – streets were blocked off and there was a steady stream of people walking with great purpose, all going the same direction.
Later we figured it out, when we noticed the end of the annual Heart Walk. (We may be slow, but we can – with ample context clues – eventually figure stuff out. In this case, we got a strong assist from the giant sign that said FINISH LINE and a few hundred people wearing Heart Walk shirts. Perhaps I ought to consider a career in something related to sleuthing?)
I am really enjoying my attempts at street photography so the discovery of the finish line was a good time to practice, and this exuberant woman made me very happy.

passing airport time, #2
Goodness – where did the middle of that person go? It feels like seeing the inside of a magic trick.
(In addition to reading a book* while I waited for my flight, I also made a few photos. That first thing might surprise you, but the second one won’t. I’m pretty sure.)

*I read Three by Valérie Perrin, which met my criteria of being long – 550 pages – and being a paperback. I bought it at Magic City Books in Tulsa, which is an awesome bookstore that you ought to visit.

Well, obviously that sign wouldn’t say the burgers and malts here are Tulsa’s best unless that was a verifiable fact.
I have not had a malt here, but the burger I had for lunch the other day was the best burger I had that day. I can’t decide if that really helps bolster the sign’s claim, but I stand by my assessment.

The name of the place seems a little cringey.
But look at the way the sunlight reflects off the broken windshield.
