Continuing my series on weird Oklahoma, I have a few more observations to share with you.
Oil derricks. Oklahoma pumps a lot of oil, so oil derricks are everywhere. I've seen derricks in grocery store parking lots, in the field surrounding our new church, and even at the State Capitol (the only state capitol with a functioning oil derrick; they are very proud of this).
Driving. Oklahomans are very bad drivers. People who say California has bad drivers have obviously never been to Oklahoma.
Tribal license plates. Oklahoma is home to many different Indian tribes, each of which is actually a sovereign nation. Each tribe has a unique license plate design.
Sidewalks. Where are all the sidewalks? Do they take them in during the day?!
Overalls. Many men wear overalls here (though definitely not everyone). When Amos and I go somewhere, I keep track of the overalled men I see; the highest score so far is three. Amos says that we will be seeing more because the cool fall weather is coming. (Amos and I went to the state fair back in September; I saw a grampa wearing overalls AND a fanny pack!)
Ma'am. I work at a university now, so I get called ma'am several times a day. It throws me off every time.
