Oklahoma is better than just OK

I'm visiting California and it hits me, Oklahoma is a really great place to live. The cost of living is low (very affordable), the food is extremely tasty (although that taste is probably slightly fattening), and our state's budget is a balanced one. Now that may not seem important to you but consider this...California which has high priced living and high priced food, for all the money they spend there is flat broke. So much so, they are trying to sell off some of their tourist destinations (which should be making the state money) to raise money for their government. Can you imagine our government selling off the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum or Beavers Bend State Park or Grand Lake to raise money to pay our state's bills? I don't know about you, but I'm glad our legislature takes the time and effort to make sure we live within our means. It's a good lesson to learn for our own lives in the ever tightening economy.

Well it's time for our tour of San Francisco (hopefully there's something left to see). I'll chatatcha later!
