The following is an absolutely true story and it happened to me. I am currently in a skilled nursing unit and unable to go and vote by the regular method. I had an absentee ballot mailed to me and got ready to get it back to the election board. I needed two stamps to send it. Since I am in lockdown and cannot have guests, I asked my wife to get me two stamps. It was going to be easier for her to just drop two stamps in an envelope and mail them to me. She put them in the mail on Aug. 16 thinking that it would be no problem getting to me so that I could mail my ballot off for the Aug. 25 primary election. The two stamps arrived at the skilled nursing unit on Aug. 26, one day after the polls closed on Aug. 25. In other words, it took 10 days to travel a very short distance in Oklahoma City.

Officially the second oldest living Oklahoman by less than two months, Christine Phillips still remembers the Spanish Flu, which devastated Kingfisher County when she was 9 years old. This year, Mrs. Phillips and her fellow residents of Countrywood Assisted Living Center and other nursing homes are living under extreme restrictions to keep them safe from yet another pandemic. But that won’t stop the celebration. Her family and Countrywood staff have organized a birthday parade of well-wishers caravaning through the facility’s parking lot on Wednesday, Oct. 7. Anyone interested in participating in the birthday parade is asked to meet at the First Baptist Church parking lot on South 13th Street at 10:15 a.m. Wednesday, Countrywood Administrator Kaci Farrar said.
