| Stopped in OKC to take the new computer into Best Buy. Within a half mile there is this Harley shop, A couple sporting good stores, 10 or more restaurants, A Cavender's Western wear, The largest Super Walmart I've ever been, and lots of other businesses. |

| We lived in Mustang, OK for 5 years. 4 of them was on this street |

 |
| That was our house. The large tree in front was about 6 feet tall, and so thin, had be careful with the lawn mower not to mow it down. It grew. We move out of there 28 years ago. |

 |
| A new Lowe's too |

| Thus used to be a motorcycle shop. Spent a lot of time here, helping and visiting |
 |
| Pat and I went in with 7 other couples, bought this corner and built this quick stop and car wash. Was in the oil patch and had a lot of traffic back then. We named it the "Quarter Back". With any purchase of gas, we gave a quarter back. Did good for awhile, until the oil business went away, and we lost a lot of traffic. We lost our investment. :-) It's very run down, but still in business. |

| Our house sold faster than expected, so we rented this place for almost a year. 2 story, large back yard. Big house that was pretty new then, |
 |
| Was treated very good here. The guys in the Geek Squad were helpful. They worked me in and got the new laptop set us so I can use it. I spent several hours when I got back to the room downloading things I need to do what I do. Thankfully, I got Blogger working, It didn't like the new Windows 10 browser, so after installing Google Chrome, I'ts working fine. |
