He is 15 miles NORTH of me! :D I've scoped him out using google (thanks, Aaron). He is just SE of the main downtown part of Tulsa and so maximizes th...

Barb,you can now see why I'm so excited. You've seen what I have. Well, this chap is ~15 miles from me! Granted, he is in the ideal spot to catch the ...
