Saturday in Oklahoma City. Yesterday was so gorgeous: sun and seventy degrees; today it was cloudy with highs only near fifty, with a stiff, damp wind that left wind chills in the 30s. I'm so glad I did the memorial and some walking around yesterday. Wow, was it cold!
Today I went had a nice breakfast at the hotel, then headed out to the Oklahoma Museum of Art, then to have a look at Bricktown and its canal and riverwalk. Next, I took to the car and explored some neighborhoods, popped into a western wear store, and went to the mall for sock shopping and to Target to get some undershirts. Undershirt and sock shopping is not very interesting but it was productive.
I was struck again today by how empty Oklahoma City is. It feels as if it's been evacuated: there are no people and, while there are parked cars, there are almost none driving the streets. It's all very, very odd, as one sees. This is just a sampling, as I'll update my website shortly.
