Thank God I'm Home Whether It's Friday Or Not

The falls. Some call it the Niagra Of The South- not really.
Castle that was the model for Dr. Frankenstein's. It was dissassembled in Europe, the stones numbered and after a 2 month steamship voyage it was rebuilt on moonshine wealth in Oklahoma.

I'm sorry- I'm lying, it was built of native stone by a college professor back in the 1930s.

  • Zachary and I just got in from Turner Falls.

  • We stayed here. The people were nice, the room decent.

  • Zachary wanted caves- he got one. It's not exactly Carlsbad Caverns, but there's a few small ones in the park. We had to crawl into the first. Not a problem for him. It was a problem for me.

  • Whaaaaa.

  • He loved it even though we nearly froze our tookus' off (it was 54 degrees with 40 mph winds and humid).

  • There was tempted tornadic activity (tor con 7/10) all around us and it hailed off/on all evening last night.

  • I think that was the first time Zachary held a hail ball.

  • Oklahoma is a very beautiful state with lots of wildlife.

  • An odd thing I've noticed- they have lots of signs. I mean there are traffic signs for the signs up there- Merge Right NOW right after 2 signs in past 1/2 mile indicating the lane would end. Motorcycles use caution. Read and observe signs- state law. Stop HERE with an arrow on a miniature stop sign that's literally right under another stop sign...

  • Go to Turner Falls some day and tell 'em I sent you.

  • No, don't do that- unless you want them to think you're weird.

  • Going to go soak in tub and then SLEEP.

  • Goodnight.

  • PS. Ya'll try to burn the world down while we were away? We literally started choking on the smoke around Denton- couldn't believe source wasn't more local to that area it was so thick.
