Travel Date: Saturday, July 10
Writing a bit out of order but to be posted chronologically (unlike most entries which get written sometime thereafter), we’ve just departed Oklahoma, a state we can honestly say we had no prior intention of ever visiting. That said, the hospitality was served up in fine style by old pal Phil Hokenson who gave us ample cause for a visit during our return trip. We’d just come from New Mexico by way of Northern Texas and I’d be remiss not to mention the Texans’ uncanny ability to juxtapose a multitude of Pro Life billboards with those for gun shows/stores. Also, we’d be willing stake our well-being on an affirmative Chupacabra sighting (of the canine variety), dead on the roadside in Seymour, Texas. Well, I speak for one of us at least.
Cryptozoology aside, we were speaking of Lawton, OK and the good army folk who reside there. After arriving, we were treated to a field trip to nearby Ft. Sill where an impressive array of derelict artillery from past US conflict was on display. Further adventures of the local provided delicious eats and a late night visit to the one and only Scooter’s (mandatory shout out achieved) to witness an entertaining mishmash of thugs and rednecks gettin’ down.
Phil – All our best in your deployment to Korea. Don’t let Kim Jong get too “ronery.”
