Loving It - In Oklahoma City

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.
