Today.

Miranda took Patrick to the Independence Zoo yesterday because he was wanting to go to the Zoo. When they got there he said "Not this zoo!". Apparently he wanted the Tulsa Zoo because Papa and Grandma took him to the Tulsa Zoo and he loved it. So today we are going to take them to Woolaroc. I guess we will see if they enjoy it.

Mom and Dad are going to pick up their camper and truck today and they are going to loan us the truck for the week. They are much too nice to us.

This morning has been busy. Oil change in my S-10, haircut, and off to Woolaroc. My barber is a young Vietnamese kid here in town. He cuts hair with his dad (I think). His dad (step?) is a ex-Marine and was in Vietnam and (this is where my assumptions start) and I think married a local woman and had the boy. They give the best cuts in town that I've found. Old fashioned style. When they flipped out the straight razor, the first time I saw it, I almost took off running. They are recently moved here from Seattle. I was talking to them (what? me talk? no way!), and the boy was saying that he finally found a Vietnamese market in Tulsa. He was really missing the food of Seattle. I (of course) asked if they speak Vietnamese. He does but his dad doesn't. Guess I'll have to learn a bit. I don't want to learn much more than "hello" or something like that. I've never really had any interest in Asian stuff and I'm not sure why.

Anyway... leaving soon. Maybe they will have Cherokee language stuff at Woolaroc.
