- 1. There is a lot of controversy about changes in election laws.
- 2. When I was a kid, I remember my grandpa telling me the story of when he was a kid (age 11), that he remembered older boys coming to the farm and telling him and his older brother, who was 14 at the time, to get their guns that they were going to Tulsa (30 miles west) to shoot rioters.
- 3. There were some very efficient census-takers. They listed twins Ora Laura and Oran Lawrence Thompson on the same line. Are you excited as I am about the 1950 census that will be released next year? More to come!
- 4. What in the heck is a Sockdologer?
