Life would be so much simpler for parents if children always obeyed them...
also, people should not smoke, eat sensibly, exercise regularly, and always
practice good oral hygeine.

Those "parent" drivers with their bad driving skills shouldn't be
obeyed. MSMD!

Tulsa looks like a war zone. Power is still out for thousands of homes

some trees are completely knocked over. There are large limbs lying in the
roads. Some of the traffic lights are still not working. Fun times.
