The only thing missing from the unveiling debacle of the 50-year-old Belvedere from the Tulsa Time Capsule was Geraldo Rivera. Too bad the body of Al Capone didn't float out. The Tulsans finally had their much overhyped car resurrection and the result is worthy of "Tales from the Crypt," the episode where grandpa keep wandering out of the grave with increasing symptoms of decomposition. And from the looks of things, the microfilm that was supposed to contain all those names of 1957 Oklahomans guessing Tulsa's population in 2007 is nonexistant. Instead there are just a few postcards with guesses (I'll bet most of them overshot the 300-some-thousand reality. All that rust could have come from just the last few days of inundation our state has suffered. A month of rain reveals the woefully poor drainage of our town. But on the bright side, that was yet another awesome full rainbow looking back to the east from the westside Thursday evening.
