I'm currently working on a more complete recap of the Teacher Walkout Saga that will probably go live later today or tomorrow. While I hammer away at that, please enjoy this photo of Mary Fallin enjoying last night's Thunder -Warriors game from the Dorchester Capital suite:
Mary Fallin seemed to enjoy tonight's Thunder / Warriors game from the owner's box. I guess she needed a break from all the teachers she didn't meet at the State Capitol. pic.twitter.com/xYjo1pWBDp

The Thunder – which hasn't released one statement or tweet in support of our teachers' fight for increased education funding – avoided putting Mary Fallin on the Love's Kiss Cam. I guess they wanted all the boos, taunting, and negative energy in the arena focused on Kevin Durant.
Or, maybe Mary just left early before the cameraman could find her. She did have to catch a private jet the next morning to go to McAlester. Fortunately some teachers were there to greet her:
Gov. Mary Fallin arrived in McAlester to tour a local business this morning, but was greeted by teacher protesters at the airport. #OklahomaTeachersWalkout #Oked pic.twitter.com/69B9LgybwO
