Actually, my services were needed in Wheeler, which is just up the road. Outside the hotel, they sell the Oklahoma City paper and the Amarillo paper. It IS real close to Oklahoma.

It's sort of a twilight zone between Texas and Oklahoma. Weird.

23. Twilight zone is right. |

I couldn't believe I was in the same state. People are...different. Not bad, necessarily, but just really different.

25. Reminds me of that King of the Hill episode... |
|
Where Bobby and Hank go to Wichita Falls (which Bobby thinks is the world's greatest city) and Hank goes into a propane dealer and is horrified that they hate Texas and love Oklahoma. :D

10. There were some flame wars, some folks flirting with other folks, |
|
George Bush and the entire Republican party were impuned several times, several waves of copycat threads were launched, and Skinner updated the Rules.
Okay you're up-to-date on this place. Welcome back. :hug:

33. Ha! Me too! And since I can't find the cable for my laptop's CD-ROM |
|
and floppy drive, the ~only~ way anything gets in or out of it is wirelessly. But I'm actually okay with that.
