Greetings from Oklahoma!
(Clockwise, from top, left) Oklahoma is more than ranch land! Just look at these nice, rolling hills, next to the Will Rogers Museum, in Claremore. ::: One sick man, one stupid idea, one fence full of tears. ::: Sallisaw, Oklahoma, where the Joads began their journey to the promised land, in The Grapes of Wrath. ::: If you want to have a garage sale in eastern OK, this is the way to advertise it - pretty clever, I thought.

But, Could Mark Live Here?
This is my entryway to the Southeast. In Oklahoma I begin to see more cowboys and oil rigs and signs of the hard, rugged life. The scenery is turning from green grass to brown dirt - still rich in color and still rich in character, like the people I've met in this beautiful state.
Downside: No Ocean. Heck, no water. Kind of flat.
