Here's another flashback to 1983.
I was the orientation director at the University of Oklahoma that year. I was 30*. This photo was taken right after the student volunteers I mentored got me in the face with a pie as a token of their affection. One of the student housing dorms, Walker Tower, is in the background.
*Edit: sorry, was 30, not 29!

I have owned a couple of SUVs in my life, including this Chevrolet S-10 Blazer I used to tow the 22-foot Windrose sailboat I co-owned with a friend from work.
Photo taken in 1983. Oklahoma is a hugely popular sailing location, with manmade lakes everywhere, most in state parks...and the wind really does come sweeping down the plains.
When I lived in Norman, the largest Hobie Cat dealer in the US was there.

Here's a photo from a happier Fourth of July, taken near the bank of the South Canadian River*, which runs just south of my childhood home, Norman OK. 1957, I think.
In Oklahoma, there's a saying, "the rivers are a mile wide and an inch deep." Except after storms, they're mostly wide flat strips of sand.
