Tulsa's annual Point in Time Count is the best way to know how many people experiencing homelessness are in Tulsa. I was out with Kyle and Jalena from the Tulsa Day Center. I'm a huge fan of social workers and case managers like them. I just marvel when I watch them work. #tulsa

One of my favorite winter photos so far this year. Arguably the best sledding hill in town is at Will Rogers High School. Recently the school started locking the gate. Sledders showed up with a ladder! Not long after this photo, a school employee unlocked the gate to cheers from the crowd. #okwx
