Fast Trip to Oklahoma
Friday's trip with Andy was great.
We loaded grain in a tiny little spot in the road town in south central Kansas, and drove it down to a little tiny spot in the road town south and a bit west of Oklahoma City.
On the way down we took a bit of a detour and went through Wakita, the little town made famous in the movie "Twister". There is a little museum dedicated to the movie there, and some day when we have more time we are going to go back. We stopped at a place close to Oklahoma City called Statuary World. It is a place bigger than a football field, maybe as big as two, filled with patio furniture, and yard ornaments, and grills. Life sized statues of horses and elk for your yard. Some of the prettiest fountains I had seen anywhere. It was fun.
After unloading the grain, we headed west to a place close to Gotebo, Okla. to pick up a load of rock to bring back to Kansas. Andy likes to take smaller highways and back roads, and we saw lots of really neat little out of the way places. Lots of pretty scenery, and beautiful houses. Cordell, Okla. Has the prettiest court house.
We stopped at a vegetable stand there in Cordell that he says is the one he likes to stop at, and the people recognized him,even though it was last year the last time he was there, and they were really nice. He bought a cantaloupe almost as big as a basketball, and a watermelon. We smelled that wonderful cantaloupe all the way back to Kansas, LOL.
We were gone from 8 am until after 10 pm, and I loved every second of it!

I been meaning to ask, what does “living in BFE mean?” I’ve looked in Acronym Finder and Acronym Attic but don’t see an acronym that makes sense.
Driving the back roads is always a lot more fun if you have the time. You get to see so much more of the real USA.
I need to start looking for some roadside watermelon stands. They are the only places I seem to be able to find Black Diamond watermelons. They are the best! Ten times better than the watermelons one can buy in the grocery stores. Damn, now I am drooling.
BFE: Bum Fucked,(sp?)Egypt... A relatively redneck phrase meaning out in the middle of nowhere.
Absolutely wonderful web page explaining other acronyms using the word "fuck": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acronyms_involving_the_word_fuck
I thought I knew most of the "Country sayings." I guess one is never too old to learn something new. :-)
wikipedia.org is such a great site and the page you referred me to is sooo funny. Thanks
