Ran into an old neighbor this morning. He lives in SW OKC. He was telling me how he was worried he wouldn’t have anywhere to shop once they closed the Walmart on I-240 and Santa Fe just before the pandemic. He said luckily he has the Crest and the Walmart on 104 and I-44 now. He said it was pretty well known it was going to happen but the mayor stepped in behind the scenes. Anyone have any more info on this? I do know it used to be 24 hours but no longer.

I had always been aware of Stevie Nicks but not anyone else. In fact, I can’t say I even knew the name Christine McVie until she died a few years ago. I just learned Lindsey Buckingham’s name a couple of weeks ago.

I knew some songs like Everywhere, Go your Own Way and a couple others

But WOW, heard a live version of “ The Chain” and I did more research into their music and I can’t stop listening.

But, I can’t believe how much in-fighting has happened among the band and how deep some of their personal issues are.

I think Stevie and Lindsey still love each other, almost too hard for there to be any semblance of a healthy relationship.

I’m so glad I have dug deeper into them.

I’m a soon to be 40 y/o man born and raised in the southern plains. Currently here. I have a good job in educational consulting/educational program support. I get paid well but the work is no longer fulfilling. I have a boss who is a bit neurotic and obsessed with numbers when we are not funded dependent on numbers. I would rather focus on quality and effectiveness than numbers.

I feel it may be time for a move. I would like a place with at least somewhat predictable weather. People joke that in the plains if you want the weather to change, just wait a few minutes. For what it’s worth, I no longer find that amusing lol.

I also have about 10 years experience in college admissions counseling and academic advising. I know I am an outlier as far as what my salary is and nowhere I go would be equivalent to what I earn now. I think I can make peace with that. I’ve most been in education and nonprofit management so I knew no where was going to be a money maker in those areas.

I like to stay active and would like a place close to a big city although depending on the city I would be ok with it. I’d just like a place where I can make a decent life as a single male. I am latino. I speak 4 languages.

Some places I have considered are Salt Lake City, Flagstaff AZ, Las Vegas(I know), Wilmington DE, Providence RI, Raleigh-Durham, Albuquerque, San Antonio.

Any advice is appreciated.
