"Oklahoma! . . .

. . . where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain."

Not much to say about Arkansas. Even less about Oklahoma. It's windy out there, but the sunshine held. We found ourselves in Bricktown, a redevelopment area just outside downtown OKCity. Nice dinner, with deep-fried green beans, in a brewery there.



Three blocks away, past the brick-lined ballpark, was our Marriott Residence Inn. Staff was very friendly, but there wasn't much staff. Hayashi scored a brass luggage cart, and off we went.



Residence Inn was just fine. Two bedrooms, w/bath & TV, flanking a central living room (w/TV) and kitchen. Nice layout for two business persons in town for a week. Front desk even had grocery shopping service available. I'll have to remember this.



That evening, we drove by the memorial where the Federal Building stood, before it was bombed to oblivion. Nice memorial, many chairs, quiet lighting. I'm still puzzled about the event.
