You know you're NOT from Oklahoma when...

I've only been here 3 days, however I've noticed there are several things that are different than from beautiful Corvallis, Or. Similar to Jeff Foxworthy's Red-Neck Test, I've assembled some proof to know I'm not from here. You know you're not from OK when:

1. For some reason, the daycare just off post on the main road named their business "creepers and crawlers" and tinted their windows. It's like they purposefully made the place super sketch so they can ensure no one would mistakenly drop their kids off at the meth manufacturing facility. It's a great business front for a drug lab. There will be a picture in a follow up.
2. I quickly understood that the concernedly large average size of people off post is (not proven, but most likely) directly proportional to the amount of restaurants that have the word "chicken" in their name. Did I mention they offer a cheap lunch AND dinner buffet?
3. The temperature outside feels about 15 degrees hotter than it really is. Can't wait for it to be 100+ for 8 weeks straight like last summer!
4. Parking in the shade is more important than closest to the door.
        OK- reduces car temp upon return to vehicle
        OR- reduces how much rain you soaked up to and from
5. I'm Not sure how it can be 101 and have T-Storms...at the SAME TIME (tomorrow's forecast).
6. They play NASCAR on the radio and comes in crystal clear on several channels!!! Mr. Gatimu would love it here! They barely broadcast that craziness on TV in Corvallis, which is fine with me.

What did I learn from the past three days? I definitely don't want to spend much more time here than I have to. 

Bad news: 

I have family here...you know, the kind you rarely talk to, except for holidays, cause they're so "different", ya, those. I'm sure they think I'm pretty "different" too. 

Good news:

I still love them and they told me they're proud of the red-neck-ness, so I'm excited to explore what they mean. On saturday, I'll get to learn the ways of the red-neck BBQ and a boat trip...if I'm lucky it will include more.
