Tulsa city and county has reached a milestone. History's first sinkhole in the metro area. Oklahoma City doesn't have a sinkhole. Muskogee doesn't have a sinhole. OU and OSU can't claim sinkholes. THis is the first sinhole in either Conference USA or the Big 12. This could be bigger than the BOK Center interms of publicity. And the Oklahoma Department of Transportation is going to fill in and cover up our tourist attraction.
What about the term? It didn't sink, the highway did. Is it a hole? No, it wasn't dug by any man made piece of equipment. How do we label this thing? I think we ought to admit our cirmstances and just call it a "highway flop". That's more accurate. Something flopped in to a void beneath it. What fell in to the void was the highway. Of course, then I wouldn't have anything to grich about this morning.
