The Western United States, particularly the states that are part of the Colorado River drainage are facing an unprecedented water crisis.

Bob Dylan Center: The Bob Dylan Center is located in a three-story brick building in the Tulsa Arts District near downtown Tulsa. This image of Dylan is painted on the brick wall of the building. I believe that the image is flat with little contrast to create a more vague photo of Dylan. Dylan’s lyrics, music and persona were sometimes a mystery and could be interpreted various ways.

Fr. Glenn: To Protect And To Serve
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Remember the old TV back in the pre-internet days? We were the “remote control” (“Glenn: get up and turn it to channel 12. And adjust the rabbit ears.”). Ah, the old black and whites.

Do you know where your children are?” The old shows like Gunsmoke, Laugh-In, Get Smart, Bonanza, Hee Haw, Star Trek (what a legacy THAT one has had!). And one of my favorites was Adam-12, which centered around two Los Angeles police officers on Read More
