Greetings. Well, we are finally 'back on schedule' but it took a long day. We are in Oklahoma City, after traveling through the remainder of Missouri, the 13 miles of Route 66 in Kansas, and the eastern part of the great state of Oklahoma. We had a big surprise when we ended up on a very old section of Route 66 that is only 9 ft wide and made up mostly of potholes and red mud--Barb and I both said it reminded us of driving in Sierra Leone. We saw many other wonderful sights as well, but our day ended at the National Memorial in downtown Oklahoma City, where 168 people lost their lives 15 years ago, and where the statue of a "Weeping Jesus" is right across the street from the site of this tragedy. We were reminded of what a blessing 'security' is, and how we often take our normal, everyday lives for granted. Blessings on your day,
