Don't run a red light.
Make sure your seatbelt is tight.
Don't drink and drive tonight.

This weekend is a microcosm of our journey over the last 30 years. Yesterday, the world watched us mark the worst day in our city’s history. Today, the world watches as our Thunder commence what we hope will be a historic playoff run. It’s playoff time in OKC. #ThunderUppic.twitter.com/fWOmlzJduO
