2,000 bikes on campus an impressive statistic

A survey last spring by OU's parking people emerged with an amazing statistic. At any moment of the academic day there were 2,000 bicycles parked in bike racks around the campus. That, the parking people said, was much more than they expected and indicates that a lot of students are actually riding to class.....more>>

  • Eggplant on my mind
    Call me crazy, but I am already thinking about what vegetables I want to start growing this coming year. I know I want to branch out and grow some new things, but I've also re-evaluated just how much I need to grow.

    When the weather is just perfect, it is almost impossible to stay inside. So it is perfect for taking your camera for a hike. If you know a grade-school age kid or two, take them along.

  • Norman birdwatchers participate in first Big Sit
    Imagine 500 huge American White Pelicans with pouched bills and 9-foot wings outstretched, coming over the tree tops so low you can hear the air rushing through their feathers.

    A common message that I heard and saw in the crowds was: Can we do this again soon? Some wanted to come back next week also.

  • Autumn rush
    Have you had your furnace checked? Added caulking around your doors? Worried about an appetite that won't wait for supper? Then you're right in tune with the natural world. All around us, the creatures are experiencing the equivalent of those same urges.
