So we find ourselves, once again, enjoying Oklahoma
City. This is the fourth time we have
set up camp in OKC and enjoy it more every time. We enjoy visiting with friends here but
beyond that this area seems to have just enough “red neck” to make us feel
welcome but not enough to make you uncomfortable. They just passed some kind of a new law that
allows, those properly licenced, to carry their gun on their hip, just like in
the good old days. We didn’t see anyone
carrying a side arm but apparently it’s now legal here. Like I said “just enough” redneck makes one
feel welcome.
Remember five days ago we were in Manitoba and 15 (F)
degrees. Here in Norman OK yesterday it
was in the 80’s and today in the 70's. It sucks
to have to adjust to the heat but we’ll persevere. Looking at the Weather Network, Pharr Texas is
in the high 80’s to 90’s so we have some more adjusting to do. I’ll take
it.
Today we went out to a fabulous car show. There was a really nice collection of cars
there and even one “BIG” truck. Now, we
all know Bernie’s not very tall but this picture clearly shows this is a “tall”
truck. Yes – the owner does drive it on
the street, and it is street legal here. Just
enough redneck, I love it.

I took these goofy pictures for you Ed (my brother.) These were both spectacular Galaxy 500’s, 63's I think. They had your name on them, for sure.
A fabulous 55 Crown Victoria
So tomorrow we pack up and Monday head off South for a while. We have no particular goal in mind, just
working our way South to Pharr and our winter hangout. We have a place just North of San Antonio we
really enjoy so we might hang out there for a few days. A decision we’ll have to make when we get
there. The RV Park is really nice and we
like to go to a small place outside of New Braunfels, called Groene, for
lunch. Time will tell, we’re going to
decide on the road. I tend to want to
drive, 6 hrs, 8, 10, 12, who cares, let’s get er done. But I know that’s not what we’re supposed to
be doing out here and Bernie keeps me on
track. Slows me down when she can.
So that’s it for tonight.
Next update will be from someplace South of here, and N or Pharr but
where???????? We’ll see.
Thanks for stopping by, please say hi when you can.
Neal and Bernie
