Road Trip - day 12 - Tuesday

We slept well, drove for an hour or so and had a sit down breakfast at
the Route 66 diner.
New Mexico, at least the parts we drove through, are well, boring. More
or less flat. In about 2 hours we crossed the border into the upper part
of Texas. More of the same, although it started to get greener (again, I
can only speak for the part we drove through...)
(Time change - back to CST)
At least Oklahoma had a Welcome sign! Greener and more trees, I was
surprised not to see more oil pumps.
Drive, drive, drive...
Outside Oklahoma City we got off the highway for dinner and picked a rib
house called Rib Crib. Smart folks, they feed you just enough to fill
you up. I hate having leftovers as I feel wasteful leaving them, and we
have no where to put them in the car.
Through Oklahoma City and another 90 miles to Troy Aickman's town,
Henryettta, where we got a room for the night.
As we closed the door to the room we felt and heard a chuttering noise.
I asked Deb what that was? She replied that she thought it was the
trucks on the highway. As Deb watched Chasing Amy, we couldn't help but
notice how loud the noise was. On the newscast after the show the
weatherman mentioned that a couple twisters had touched down but no
damage was done, he ended that thought with a chuckle (do they really
take them so casually?). We eventually settled in for what looked like a
LONG night with the trucks rumbling by outside...

To be continued...
