Today the Chickasaw Nation Health Service “topped out” their new multi-million dollar health facility south of Ada (across the street from where Abby works, Pre-Paid Legal Services.) Before the actual raising of the beam, we were encouraged to sign it, “so that 200 years from now, when they tear this thing down, they’ll wonder who you were.” Anyway, if you squint just right, you can see Richard R. Barron, Ada Evening News Photographer written on the beam near the center of the photo. I drew a box around it when I signed.

Oh, and along those same lines, I once dreamed that I could perform miracles with the wave of my hand, and that my most impressive miracle was being able to turn bridge beams into potato salad.
