Beware the sausage.

Whilst I have been eating some of the Russian foods, and delicacies I noticed that many people eat hot dogs... Not on buns with ketchup, mustard, relish, and onions like his Highness Ronald Regan sent down to us from on high. Instead many Russians eat them like any other meat. Often with mashed potatoes and a gravy common to the country(The gravy is uber good!!!)  So let this be a warning when traveling in Russia beware the Sausage, cause its most likely hot dog...

People in Oklahoma are funny about snow

So I leave for Moscow in 4 days, but I wanted to talk about the weather in Oklahoma before I leave.

Last Monday it snowed quiet a bit. My mom's house got approximately 16" total, and My grandparent's house got about 20". Thats a lot in one storm anywhere, but especially so in Oklahoma.

Walmart was out of milk, bread, eggs, most canned food, beer, and yogurt. At least one gas station ran out of fuel because the town to the north of Skiatook was completely out of fuel, and this was all before a single snow flake had hit the ground.

But now it is supposed to snow on and off every other day of so, no big deal right? Not in Oklahoma...
While I've been at Panera Beard Co. using up their free WiFi Ive heard at least 10 people say how worried they are about the snow thats coming. And that again some gas station were running out of fuel... this is all the more hilarious when you consider the fact that the cumulative snow for the next 3-4 days is 4" soooo yeah.

Well, this will likely be my last blog post until I arrive in Moscow, everyone be good.

p.s. feel free to leave comments i get bored so ill need things to read. Thanks.
