Oklahoma is...a pan.
Hop, you reminded me of the time my first-grader was playing "beauty shop" with DH. He was lying on the couch, and she was brushing his hair straight back. This was when the hairline was seriously receding. She said, "Oh, look. Daddy's hair looks like Florida." Sherry |

Steve, is it the Arbuckle (IIRC) maybe an hour outside of Moore? When my
aunt was still alive, as we'd be leaving we always went through there. I thought the wild cat pens were extremely small. Loved feeding the llamas and giraffe though. Grace, we lived in Moore for 13 years. Arbuckle Wilderness is about 2 hours south. I recall the place very well, and not really in a favorable way. I hated them keeping the monkey in the gift shop, dressed up like a kid. It just didn't seem right. The last time we went the kids were very small though--it was a long time ago. I also remember the youngest kid ate more of the wildlife food they gave us for the animals than the animals got. Or what they didn't spill in the car fighting over it. Me--mmmm--ooo--rrriiiies...

I once had a close encounter with a buffalo, which decided it wanted a drink where I was fishing. I was fishing on the back side of the lake and heard something crashing through the woods behind me. There was no way to make a quick escape, so I ended up wading out to a rock about 10 yards offshore and watched the monster take a long, half hour, drink before he wandered back through the woods. BTW, since I took my rod with me I fished off the rock for a couple hours before coming back to shore. Yes, but did you catch anything, other than seeing more buffalo than you wanted? Pam S. Well, don't remember if I caughty anything that day or not. Actually, the fishing on that lake isn't very good, but the scenery is great. Since my fishing has always been catch and release, I never worry about much about catching fish, anyway. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

LOL the Florida hair. Monkey in the gift shop! I (probably along with Pam)
would have made a new exit door in that gift shop if I'd seen a loose monkey (no fear; extreme dislike). Did the thing ever bite anybody? The reason I really can't stand them is a childhood memory (don't ever let anybody tell you toddlers won't remember stuff).

LOL. My best memory is when we stopped at the giraffe, and he stuck his
tongue (LONG!) into the food bucket. Problem was that the bucket was in my mother's lap, inside the car! Did you know giraffe's have black tongues It was fun when I was a kid. If I remember right, the llamas and long horn cattle had a large roaming space, likewise for the ostrich and such. But I don't agree with the idea of giving some folks a bucket of food and letting them in to feed animals indiscrimantely anymore. It seems too dangerous to me. Some idiot could think it's funny feeding them other things. Everything else seemed miserably cooped and caged. Grace "Sherry " wrote in message ...

OH.. and it's been umm.. ten years myself since I've been through there.
I hope they've changed things. "Sherry " wrote in message ... Steve, is it the Arbuckle (IIRC) maybe an hour outside of Moore?

Yeah, if not for those winters, I would consider trying to live in Scandanavia, at least for a while. (Sweden and Denmark have similar social programs, don't they?) Do they let people come and live there for, say, 4 months? (ie, May-August )? I would love to be there for the summer solstice! How hard is it for a foreigner to come and work in countries like Norway, Sweden, Denmark, for a short period? I love where I live, it's home to me, but I wouldn't mind trying out some other places, too, especially places that have common sense about taking care of their populations!
