Tulsa.
After less than 24 hours visiting my uncle just outside of Tulsa, I've almost decided that if America is ever invaded by a foreign power, I'm going to get in the car and drive straight here. He tells me that 70% of Oklahomans carry concealed weapons and the other 30% aren't able to.
While I'm a big supporter of the right to bear arms, it's a little odd for me to see them carried about so freely. I've never actually owned a gun other than the old pistol I inherited from my grandpa <which I've never fired because I put it in a locked case and promptly lost the key>. I'm not sure whether there's any relation, but I'm told this is also the capital of the Pentecostal movement. ;)
One thing I can tell you for sure about Tulsa, it's windier than any place I've ever been. Bertha rocked all night long -- tho thankfully the tornado warnings did not mention this county. I can't say I slept that great and even as I sit here typing I'm rocking almost constantly. Every once in awhile a big blast comes along and really slams me.
My uncle and I were discussing the illegal immigrant problem this morning and he told me of a Dallas man who drove his truck up to Lowe's where the day laborers hung out and got ten guys to hop in. He then drove them straight to an immigration office and told them that's where the job was. They walked in, were detained, then deported. I've spent 15 minutes trying to find this story on the internet -- anybody heard of it?
