In about an hour I'll be leaving to take our friend, Dr. Allen Scott (professor of Music History at OSU) to the airport in Tulsa. He has to be there at 4:30 am. It's a little over an hour's drive each way, but I don't mind doing him the favor at all. The only part I remotely dread is the ride home alone. The Cimarron Turnpike is dark and eerie late at night because there's no one else on the road and there are no lights anywhere. Plus, you have to keep your eyes open for wild life. It's a taxing drive at night. The toll booth just this side of Tulsa is always a welcome sight because there are actual people to take your fare. Well, I'll keep my music on and I'll be fine. Just hope that I don't break down for some reason. I seriously sense Indian spirits out there whenever I drive it alone at night (I used to work in Tulsa and often didn't get home until well after dark).
See you when I get back!

UPDATE: Micah's going with me! He's part Indian, so we'll be safe. ;)

UPDATE #2: Got home safe and sound. It was fun! Oh, yeah, the AC is working. When I walked in the house it was like an ice box and I had to turn it down!

I'll ride with you if you want!
Cool!
The trip isn't all that bad, especially if you have a pike pass, no stopping. However, that toll road was built before pike passes, so the toll booths are inline, you have to slow down to 30 MPH...
Plus with a pike pass, the tolls are 10% less, than paying cash.
We had a Pike Pass when we were working in Tulsa, but now we don't drive there often enough to warrant one. My dad and step-mom live in Tulsa, but most of the time they come here. Perhaps after we get moved, though we'll have to money to make more trips to Tulsa!
I'm home for lunch and you're still sleeping. :^*
hes part indian, so we'll be safe!
that just cracked me the hell up!
