Flew to Hawaii out of San Diego. Gorgeous place! The one thing missing in Oklahoma is a real Ocean Beach. If you could move the Ocean there, everyone would live in Oklahoma. I know there's not enough livable Ocean Beach for everyone to be right at the shore, but one should ideally live within an hours drive. Of course, if you've never lived near a beach, you don't know what you're missing.
I'd come to your Pirate Party! Actually, I've spend some enjoyable weekends on the water in OK--but it was floating in a canoe.
ReplyDeleteNot sure a beach would solve all of Oklahoma's difficulties - there is still that very high humidity in summer. Then again, if you're submerged (as in the lake) it's not so much of a problem. I would miss the beach if we had to move, just as I missed the mountains when I left Salt Lake City. I agree, modern day piracy is creepy indeed.
ReplyDeleteHi Terri - I have read that even though there are no natural lakes in Oklahoma, it has more fresh water coastline than any other state. All the jagged edges of those lakes, I guess. I have yet to visit (other than to drive by) any of the lakes, but I'm told that you should never wear a white bathing suit, since the water is usually quite brown. I'll see this summer.
ReplyDeleteHi Shelley - I haven't minded the humidity, although the feeling that you are walking through soup is pretty weird. The tornados might keep people from moving here, though. I know what you mean about missing the mountains and the beach. Lots of my family live in Sacramento, since it is easy to get to Tahoe or San Francisco and get the best of both worlds.
