Bonsai run to Tulsa

I just got back from a run to Tulsa to pick up 140 vintage glass block to use in a project. Interesting place. Missed a tornado by a few miles last night and drove up to Bartletsville and slept in the Price Tower, a frank lloyd wright mini skyscraper downtown...built in 1954. Very rich experience!

Its a very interesting and odd building. Four apartments or offices on each floor and at least three elevators. Lots of rich FLW details inside and out.

Worth a trip if you are nearby.

Took the VW diesel wagon. Got 40+ mpg if kept under 85.

The glass block around 700 to 1000# really squished my rear springs down.
