Hey, good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome,
welcome. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood and it's time now for
our community connection right here on K one, the one you trust. It
is eight thirty three and we're talking Ali. Ali young lady Internet yourself.
Hello, Hello, interdets yourself to everybody. Oh, I'm Amy Finny.
I'm the coordinator for ALI. That's Ocean Lifelong Living Institute where maybe we're retired
by we're not through learning, so we continue. And I helped make that
possible. Well, you know something, you had a great spring and it
was it was action packed. You had a lot of town halls. We
did tell us a little bit how that worked him pretty good. We decided
that or I decided at least that we need to showcase the community. Yeah,
so we're I'm trying to have someone from different industry and organizations and like
that. And it's we've just continued those they've been a really big hit.
And we'll do that in the summer as well. And like right now,
our legislatures in session, so we're gonna have the Three Jays, Julie,
jud and John at the town hall and and they'll just be after the session
closes. So they come to the our best Friday forum. Oh yeah,
but Arrol doesn't really give you a whole lot of chances to ask questions,
keeps he keeps it moving. So they will be with us for a couple
hours, So come and join us. I'll give you a date for that
later. But all right, that'll be a big one. But this summer
that we're talking about, you're you're telling me a little bit ago in the
green room, folks, we really don't have a green room. We'd like
to pretend that we're really on TV, but we're we're gonna be road tripping.
Yeah, what we do, Yes, we are. I decided it
summer, let's have fun? Why not? So we're gonna do that in
two ways. Number one, we're gonna have on every Thursday, we're gonna
have a field trip. And then on Wednesdays or Tuesday afternoons, we're gonna
start our movies again. Ah, there you go. Remember Charlie used to
like you used to teach a class on that didn't he? I know,
and I'm sorry I missed that. He I came in after he decided I'm
done, sort did I so we have Sydney Bremer. I'm not sure if
that's a Bremer or Bramer, but anyway, everybody that knows her tells me
that's great. And she's gonna start doing the movie series, so we're all
really excited about that. But our field trips, our smaster starts May twenty
second. Yeah, and that day we'll have one Monday class and that's gonna
be at the museum. They're gonna have their Ranch and Cowboy exhibit on that's
the Barttlesman Museum. And we'll have a speaker that's gonna tell us about that.
And I'll give you his name here in a minute. It's Willie somebody.
Anyway, there will be that on Monday. Then on Tuesday we have
Tuesday Morning by the town Hall and then the movies. Yes, we'll have
two online classes and they'll be at the library where you can. Everybody says,
I'm retired, I'm not doing computers anymore. I'm not doing zoom classes.
So they can come and join us at the library gat to get out.
Yeah, I'm jumping around with subjects. It's okay. I kind of
got you started on that jumping business. Yeah, and I tend to do
that. Our very first trip is going to be made the twenty fifth,
that's on a Thursday, and we're gonna go to Dewey. There will be
um, we're going to go to Prairie Song. If you haven't been to
Praie Song. I heard it's great. I have not been a dope out
there, but I haven't toured it. I hear they're gonna make a little
short movie out there sometime in the next year or two, so it's going
to be kind of like a little That would probably the best setting ever,
Yes, it would. And we'll go to the Dewey Hotel. Yeah you
go. Probably everybody has been there, but Joe Sears is going to do
the little tour on that. That's actually a nice little history lesson and Joe's
always exceptional. He's always exceptional. And then we'll tour the Tom Mix Museum
and probably most everybody here has seen that. But that's deceptively large. He
doesn't look all that big when you're walking into it. You said, oh,
this would be a cute little we goes back forever it does go the
first when I was in the first time, it's like I thought Tom Mix
was this big old cowboy, and I looked at his clothes and I'm going
that's not true. Nope, nope, he about looked like me, kind
of like a thumb, short and stocky. Yes, ladies loved him,
you know how they go, well, yeah, look at me, Tommy
love chunks anyway, and then we'll lunch is gonna be very important on these
trips. Oh yeah, you know how we are. We like to eat
and talk. That's how I That's how I roll. I don't know about
anybody else, but that's that's what I mean. Hey and my amo these
days, and we're gonna be going to this Subos Mexican restaurant and do it.
And then on the June one we're going to Caney to the little house
on the prairie and then the zoo there and Canny. Now what we'll have
to do is do a snack and Caney or at one of the places.
And the big one is going to be coming back to Copan to the truck
stop when we're finished. So late lunch. The pie you'll you'll kick yourself
if you don't try the pie and the fresh gut French rise. I love
those, yea. So those are the ones we're going to see and then
on the eighth of June, Yep, we're gonna go to Sedan, Kansas.
I figured it was time. Since I'm a Kansas girl, I thought
it'd be nice for some of the Okies to be exposed to Kansas. I
understand you got a place there. It's got an appetite that would satisfy the
appetite of a Texan. You should see the food and yes, what you
always have nut well depends on how much you eat, but usually have enough
to take home for another meal. It's it's where we're going up there,
I think, I know. But where are we going? Rick's Barbecue and
Steadcasts. People come from every queer and a lot come from Bartlesville to eat
that. But we're going to um. I think one of the best kept
secrets is Sedan has the m mc kelly Museum, the clown world renowned clown
and so there turn this over here. Yeah, oops, that's the same
one. I got too many here. Okay, there they have. They
have a museum. And I don't know if you know that Sedan has a
yellow brick road. Well years ago somebody came up with the idea of having
a yellow brick Road. So what they did was sold bricks and my name
is on one of them. Well there you go. Yeah, so it's
it's a nice little town. You just roam around. They have an ice
cream store there. Everybody loves the ice cream, especially in June. It's
sure probably gonna be warm. But then there's the Hollow. It's a it's
just a kind of a small hollow, but it's really nice just to kick
back and walk around and and all that. And they're at the hollow is
a Saint John's, Saint Charles schoolhouse, one room schoolhouse. Everybody's seen those.
But that's what sedan and lunch is at Bucks Barbecue and Steakhouse. Oh
yeah, yeah. Then on the fifteenth, this is the final one,
we're going to Pahaskaya, So we'll see the Osage Nation Museum, oh Sage
County Historical Museum, and we'll eat at Buffalo Joe's Drive in. Ah.
Yes, we've figured everybody talks about the murk, but Buffalo Joe's is pretty
good option, really good option. And I didn't figure anybody wanted to wait
an hour and a half to eat lunch. So that's that's the field.
Chances aren't you running into Buffalo Dale and Buffalo Joe's. I'm just telling you
really, Oh, I'm out there for coffee sometimes, you know. Oh
well I'm looking forward to that. Yeah. Let's see our live feeds are
gonna be and that's what the online ones are. This will come from Stillwater.
It's the climate science their climate science researchers, and it'll be talking about
the weather, the drought and heat and all that sort of thing thing all
things Oklahoma, yes, yes, yes, occasional twister. And then that's
on Wednesday. The now these are going to be all week, all four
weeks. Yeah, okay. Then on another one will be that will be
in the morning. In the afternoon we'll have contemporary economic policy issues. So,
like I said, nobody wants to go on their computer and do zoom,
So just come and join us. We'll have cookies and of course water
and coffee if you want it. And let's see what do I left out
here? How do we sign up? Well, that's a good question.
It is do I have to go near a computer or can I just have
the kids to do it for me? Well you could even call oh there
you get now. Folks like that option because the telephone still works, yes,
yeah, and I've had some people tell me, well, I don't
like to do my credit card online that sort of thing. So yeah,
there's a there's a phone number. Yeah that is starts with four or five.
Needless to say, yep, because it's out there in that area.
Yeah, yes, it is four or five seven four four five eight six
eight. And we'll have that to coming up here in our news story.
So you'll hear plenty of times. Yeah. So just call them up,
get get signed up, and the field trips. By the way, there
will be an opportunity to ride you might. You don't have to drive if
you don't want to, well, they'll have a bus coming up from Stillwater
to Tulsa to Bartlesville road trip. I love I love this. Some people
don't like to be on a bus, but I do. I think it's
a lot of fun. Oh yeah, you have the conversations plenty and always
something to you know, kind of joke about, especially if you get a
good seat mate. Oh yeah, there you go Fransas, are you will?
Yeah? So that's that's pretty much. It's it's a short semester.

work, no tests, and we're just having fun this summer. Alrighty,
