Sure, but when you're parked on 169 or the BA, what else are you gonna do?
:) Actually, Rick's mention of 'gummers' is pretty funny, since there
really aren't that many elderly folks on the road there, compared to many
other places. But do beware driving in Tulsa. Insurance rates are
terrible, because there are lots of accidents, and everybody sues when
involved in one.
BTW Rick, is your B the bright yellow one?
