After a couple of months of dealing with Ford and truck issues we gave up and bought a new truck. We are now driving a new a new Dodge 3/4 ton diesel. It is soooooo much better. We ended up driving back to Texas to get it as there are a lot more options in Texas than in Georgia.

Anyway, yesterday we left and headed north. Last night and tonight we're in Stratford, Oklahoma. Stratford is about an hour south of Oklahoma City, where I grew up. Yesterday we drove by my old house as well as my elementary and junior high schools. It was a nice walk down memory lane.
Last night we went by the memorial at the site of the Oklahoma City bombing. We heard it was impressive at night and we were impressed, and saddened. On the lawn are empty chairs for the 168 people that were killed in the bombing. The base of the chairs are glass cubes with the name of the person it represents etched in the glass and a light inside. The chairs are arranged by the floor the person was on when the bomb went off. The saddest part is seeing the smaller chairs that represent the children that were in the day care or with their parents that morning. A sad day in American history.
Today we'll go back into the city to tour the museum and see a few other sights.
That's it for now. Take care.
Brian
