Camp Howdy

I just got back from the State Fair of the Great State of Oklahoma. Police towers. Beer bars everywhere. Used to be one place to get a beer and that was at the Monorail Depot. No more Monorail. Now there's a 10 stool beer bar next to Dan's Indian Tacos. With the OU game on a flatscreen. Okie girls serving up something called Choc 1919. A big picture taken from the lightning rod or "Space Needle". But this is also the venue for a lot of gun shows. And if I get their issue correctly, they would like an insurrection because they fear that Obama wants to put them in jail for protesting his presidency. Armed protest. Armed protest inciting insurrection because they fear the government wants to put them in jail for armed insurrection. Is it any wonder this is the town that had its Federal Building blowed up real good by a concerned (and armed) citizen? I saw no mention of the Memorial anywhere on the grounds. My highlight was watching one of those nice Baptist ladies in the "Clean Your Ring" booth shining up Wendy's little Green Man necklace.
Oh, and too much karaoke and no good picking at the stages. Local American Idol losers who really didn't get the message to leave us alone with it all, please.
When we got back, the next day we headed to the beach Then to nachos and Bongloards at the Fandango down by the Haw-bah. Smell that Monterey Bay air.
