OOOOk-lahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain

Yep, that is right.  The wind comes sweepin' down the plain.  It's been blowing hard all day and even harder west of here.  It looks like if we get an early start in the morning we can get ahead of some bad weather.  So, it looks like a 5am wakeup for us and hit the road and make a dash for Amarillo.

We went shopping at Walmart today for some groceries and other odds and ends.  As usual we had to walk all over the store to get our 25 items and then the lady in front of me had well over 100 items in her cart.  Ooops!   Gerry said the other lines were long and slow, so we waited.  About that time a clerk opened the counter next to us and said to come over and she would wait on us.  We struck up a conversation with her and she was very pleasant to talk to.  Nice to see friendly clerks for a change.

I picked up another geocache today and dropped off some travel bugs that we picked up in New York last July.  I hate to hold the TBs that long, but it was our first real chance to drop them off.  The travel bug hotel was in a front yard and I hesitated to search for it, but it was in plain sight so I went for it.  A resident of the house came home about that time and said yes, the cache was there and it was fine to check it out.  There were a number of travel bugs in the cache, but I left them there since it is hard to get rid of them sometimes.

We stopped at the Brickyard Brewery in Shawnee for dinner and enjoyed the meal.  They had a special on draft beers and we picked a few different ones and enjoyed them a lot.  The meal was fine and we managed to see the end of the Ravens-Browns football game which the Ravens lost.  Go Browns.

Before we went shopping the Redskins-Chargers game came on tv and was in the final quarter.  We watched the game to it's conclusion and were rewarded with an overtime win.  It wasn't the best played game, but a win in a bad game is a win.  Now on to Minnesota on Thursday night and another win.  Go Skins.
