It was an odd thing and happened in an odd way, but this shows you Payne County Bank, Perkins, OK is out to serve their customers... big time!!! He did not have to do this at all, but his going out of the way like this, this day in time, is unbelievable... !!! Now, if he'd just pay it off.. hahahaha..... Thanks, Chris, for all you have done for our family and Ann and I!

On my trip to office to try to play catch up this am... near white out where
Snow is coming off fields.... wind whipping badly ... took 25 mins to go 4 miles.. but safe, and will head back home later, hopefully roads will melt some.. Highway perfectly clear, one just has to get to it..
On car off in ditch on North side of our home headed west it looked like, but ended up headed east on North side.
Drive safely if you have to get out at all... there are spots of ice on all the side roads and the wind almost fills the ruts in the drifts in just minutes...

100,000 Federal employees owe 962 million in back taxes... how bout you and i not pay ours???
Tax Scam Uncle Sam? You Oughta Be Fired! Says Utah Rep. Chaffetz
Chaffetz Wants to 'Ferret Out' Federal Workers With Unpaid Taxes
By DEVIN DWYER
WASHINGTON, March 18, 2010—Working for Uncle Sam comes with some great perks, like job stability, posh benefits packages, and in many cases, average salaries that are higher than what the same job pays in the private sector.
That's why Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, is irked that nearly 100,000 civilian federal employees owe the IRS $962 million in back taxes. He thinks they should pay up or be fired.
Chaffetz has introduced a bill that calls for the federal government to "ferret out" civilian employees who have "seriously delinquent tax debt" and prevent the hiring of other tax delinquents.
More than 3 percent of the 2.8 million federal civilian employees owed the Treasury unpaid federal income taxes in 2008, according to the IRS. If you include retirees and military service members, the numbers go from nearly 100,000 up to 276,000 current or former workers who owe $3 billion in taxes.
"If you get to the point where the government is putting a lien on their property and they've exhausted their appeals& the right thing to do is fire them as a federal worker," said Chaffetz. "If you're going to take federal tax dollars, you should be paying your federal taxes."
Currently, only IRS employees can be terminated for non-payment of federal income taxes -- a measure Chaffetz wants extended to all federal agencies. The IRS has the lowest level of tax delinquency among its employees than at any other federal agencies, according to the most recent statistics.
But skeptics of Chaffetz's plan argue firing the delinquents en masse circumvents due process and could only hamper efforts to recoup the cash.
Firing federal employees as soon as a lien is imposed by the IRS would be "prior to any due process hearing," said Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on the federal workforce.
"We have a system that's in place. For a federal employee, we have the [IRS] garnish their pay at 15 percent -- which is higher than for the regular taxpayer," he said. "We're getting the money back."
Wade Morrow, assistant general counsel for the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal employees union, said workers should be held to account for back taxes but that Chaffetz's rule would not accommodate the complexities of individual cases.
"There may be other facts and circumstances that you should consider," he said, adding that some individuals may have become delinquent due to sickness or divorce complications or due to a mistake in tax filings. Morrow also said the most serious offenders could face termination under existing guidelines if the tax delinquencies interfere with their jobs.
"Getting them to pay back what they owe is preferable to having them all fired, in which case you're not going to get anything at all," said Morrow.
Chaffetz: Firing Federal Employee Tax Delinquents Aligns With Obama in Principle
Chaffetz conceded the terminations would probably make it harder for the individuals to pay their tax bills and said employees appealing to the IRS or "making a good faith effort" to repay them should be spared.But he said a broad purge of tax delinquents is still justified and consistent with a principle laid out by President Obama for contractors employed by the federal government.
Earlier this year, Obama ordered federal agencies to terminate contracts with companies who don't pay federal taxes.
"It's simply wrong for companies to take taxpayer dollars and not be taxpayers themselves," the president said Jan. 20. "We need to insist on the same sense of responsibility in Washington that so many of you strive to uphold in your own lives, in your own families and in your own businesses."
Democrats in both the House and the Senate have introduced legislation codifying new rules for federal contractors who don't pay their taxes. Chaffetz is the first and only Republican so far to co-sponsor the House version.
"I think the president's right in the case [of companies] and now I'd like it expanded to federal workers as well," he said. "If you're going to take federal tax dollars, you should be paying your federal taxes."
The bill is currently under consideration by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
my my my...
Been a long long long week... A week ago Thursday night I heard out loud the words 'step mom' associated with my lovely Ann and it cut hard quick and deep. While this is true... absolutely true, neither her nor I nor my family to our ears has NEVER used this word, Never... again, it is true, but it is nothing we ever once think about because she is MOM or Grandma to us all... so it was really something that caught us off guard and as big a deal as that was, it would soon pale in comparison to what our family was to face... and it would hit us over the weekend and hit hard... an 'internal error' of untold portions... and it pounded us for days... and still is eating at us but we refuse to budge!
I am writing this as a means back to sanity. In doing this, I am trying to understand. I type and the letters and words are so empty, perhaps another day...
But in all this, the one amazing thing to me is ... the greatness and wonderfulness and completeness of OUR family! We have been hurt beyond belief, but within hours of learning, feeling, crying, etc. we bounced back and we bounced high far and wide! Everyone stepped up to help, to clean up the mess, and did so out of love... more later this is much much harder than I thought... but it is deeply needed!
love to all and thanks to everyone who has pitched in

Professional Photographer at work!
My son Phillip is a great photographer! All my children are so very talented! Me ole heart skips a beat when I think of them, but on this note I would like to show you my oldest at work doing what he does in an awesome way, finding the heart and soul of our artists at Flatland Entertainment. We have 4 signed artists and soon will have 5! And we have hired Phillip to be our only Photographer. We have used many sources, but only thru his eye do we find the essense of our artists. In this shot, he is seen photographing Brian Stoner, a Native American from Ponca City, whom we are working on a new record for. Brian is very well known among the Native Americans as an outstanding artist who's speciality is Peyote Music used in the Native American Church of North America. His grandfather is one of the founding fathers of the church. He is presently working on a record honoring his Grandfather's memory titled 'Reflections'. We hope to have it out by mid April or early.
