Chief Joseph and Family Portrait--1880-- Framed Collectible

Chief Joseph-(March 3, 1840 to September 21, 1904), was Chief of the Wallowa band of Nez Perce.
Born in the Wallowa Valley of Oregon, a peace-loving Native American, Josephs patience was tried several times due to the U.S. Army's reneging on several Treaties, taking land from the Nez Perce.
Joseph and the Nez Perce headed for Canada, and were about 40 miles from the border, when they surrendered to Army troops. General William Tecumseh Sherman imprisioned them in a prisoner-of-war camp near Leavenworth, Kansas for 8 months. They were then banished to Indian Territory (Oklahoma) for about 10 years, where many died. Finally allowed to return to a reservation near Kooskia, Idaho.
Chief Joseph's famous words---"I will fight no more forever"
This portrait is mounted in solid wood, antiqued frame
Glass replaced with non-distortion resin sheet for safety and super lightweight!

African "Killer Bees" Tulsa (Warning Sign)

Yep, there it is...right in the middle of Tulsa... a sign perched within a utility power unit on the Tulsa State Fairgrounds.... "Killer Bees" in Tulsa? Seems a real warning...(it is a nicely printed metal sign)...so it must be serious! It seems the Tulsa area is a possible stop-over for the "little tyrants"...(but let's hope Tulsa is just a "fly-over").

Anyway, if anyone is interested, here is a little bit about these bad tempered flying insects:
Africanized Honey Bees (AHB), also called "Killer-Bees", are a breed of southern African bees that were exported to South America in 1956. Some of the bees escaped quarantine in 1957 and started working their way north. They were first detected in the U.S. in 1990 at Hidalgo, Texas.
They are termed "killer-bees" because they will swarm and attack animals and humans-without provocation- that stray into their territory- or near a hive. It is not necessary to actually disturb a hive for the bees to attack. They may respond viciously to noises, vibrations, or traffic sounds. Colonies may remain aggressive for 24 hours and can attack animals and humans within a quarter-mile from the hive.
(postscript)
Let's do our very best to avoid these little honey-producing nasties!

Unusual Tulsa Traffic Sign....

...came upon this traffic sign as I was driving around Tulsa recently....

Tulsa's Big Boy

The Golden Driller
.....he stands tall...76 feet high...43,500 pounds. First showed his prowess in 1953.... through the providence of Mid-Continent Supply Co. of Ft.Worth, Texas...for the International Petroleum Exposition at the Tulsa Sate Fairgrounds.
Then again in 1959, and at that time, his adoption papers were signed over to the Tulsa State Fair Authority. He got his permanent home--right there about 21st Street and Pittsburgh in 1966.
His diet consisted of angle-iron, plaster, fiberglass, concrete, and steel....all the great building-blocks for a growin'-boy! He wears a 576 inch belt, has a shoe size of 393DDD, and tops up with a size 112 hat!...(.not a good boy to pick a fight with)!
He can survive a 200 mile-per-hour wind, holdin' on to that old Oil Derrick from Seminole, OK.
Somehow, I just sleep better....knowing Tulsa's Big Boy is watching over things.
