Ooh rah! Lila and I survived Oklahoma!
I should start taking a laptop along on my trips but I generally dislike messing with a computer when I'm on a break.
I did take along my IPOD , since I never leave home without it. IPODs are great for taking audio notes, showing off your pictures or just listening to music. It's a pity most hotels and motels are still working in the 20th century, instead of the 21st. Most do not have WI-FI, free or otherwise, and of the few that do, most password protect the connection.
You ain't lived until you try to enter a password on the IPOD's dinky screen. I don't bother.
Where I can get free, unfettered WI-FI I use the IPOD for weather reports, news and to check out http://www.roadsideamerica.com. It's not a critical problem, but it is annoying when I can't do this in my motel room.
I find it interesting that lots and lots of fast food places have WI-FI but hotels and motels do not.
We arrived in Oklahoma City before a fairly severe winter storm hit the area and left a day after the storm moved on east.
We had one great day for photography, so we headed out to the Cowboy Hall of Fame, which is totally boring and then went over to the Firefighter Museum. That place has some cool antique fire engines on display. Be sure to bring your wide angle lenses because the engines are crowded together.
I will have more on our trip tomorrow.
Thanks for the clicks on my links, I appreciate that!
