So it turns out that I should have consulted the NY Times when I was looking for "O.K.City Cuisine". Oh well, instead I had the opportunity to indulge my Chick-fil-A craving at a "mall". I say "mall" because while the building used to house a mall, its current state is more like a big empty building that happens to house a footlocker, athletic attic, sears, bath and body works, and chick-fil-a....the vast majority of the building was empty with empty store fronts still posted with "going out of business sale". Ther parking lot was about equal parts potholes and grass (which had grown through all the cracks in what used to be pavement). Something about it made me feel like I was entering a retail ghost town and that the "ghosts of shoppers past" might come haunt me. Anyways - luckly the Chick-fil-A was still alive and kicking and I thoroughly enjoyed my Chick-fil-A sandwich - YUM!
The mirror in Chick-fil-A revealed my beautiful suntan/burn. I had tried to move the shoulder seatbelt down a bit so that I would not have a giant diagnol line from my left shoulder down to the front of my shirt. While I was driving Will assured me that this strategy was working and he didn't see any line. Mission - failed (boys always tell you what they think you want to hear). Maybe I will be lucky enough to get a matching diagnol stripe from my right shoulder - however at this time we are driving with the top up due to some earlier thunderstorms. My face is fine due to a nice NC State visor - however I also have a great tanline on the back of my shoulders going straight across my back where my shoulders met my seat. This, I'm sure, will be a nice compliment to the previous "racerback" tan line I acquired when snorkeling in St. John....that tanline was SUPER pretty when I was wearing a strapless dress in Kelsey's wedding this past weekend (It was pretty obvious/ugly in all the pictures that Natalie and Jamie already posted at least). As soon as we got back to the car from lunch we retrieved the suntan lotion towlettes from the truck (thanks, mom!). However as soon as I had applied the SPF 30 liberally (as the directions indicated I should) then the clouds we had been thanking for their shade broke and we could not overcome the rain with our speed since we were in a workzone. Previous showers did not get us wet. Luckly, our pile of electronic equipment that we have with us seems to be working just fine.
We got a few pictures of downtown Oklahoma City but mostly it looked like there was a big Sonic Drive-In office building HQ like thing as well as a sports arena. We didn't make it all the way downtown to see the memorial for the Federal Building bombing.
Well - back to paying attention to our Theodore Roosevelt book....at the moment he's busy trying to get Panama independent from Columbia.
