I’ve traveled down I-40 for decades now. I’ve seen a lot of changes. Just got home at midnight after an 18hour drive. Tahlequah, OK to Phx/Mesa, AZ. Do you know how good your own bed feels after a drive like that? Wow I even got up to go work BUT could not no way make it to the gym. Bad girl - ain’t been to the gym since last week sometime. LOL
We left at 6 AM. Had to make a stop in Norman, OK and drop off a chair to number 2. By noon we were in Amarillo, TX. So we’re cruising down I-40 and in front of us is a vehicle with Creek Nation Plates. Oh sorry, Muskogee Nation Plates,as in license plates. Oh cheapest gas, Muskogee, OK at Creek Nation Casino; $2.00 a gallon.
So we pass the vehicle with the tribal plates. The driver looks familiar but I don’t say nothing. Husbands says that looks like KT. So I do the obvious thing and turn to look at the driver and he looks at me. He waves at me and I wave back; I look at the passenger side and I cover my mouth in surprise anden wave at her too. Its his wife, or X or they divorced & they still maybe but they are together again or something to that effect.
Anyway we pass them and they stay behind us all the way thru the Texas panhandle. Then we pull over at the first rest stop on the New Mexico side. They follow us and we end up talking story for about an hour. Our kids grew up together back in the day. They don’t have Grandkids either. Their daughter graduated from OU & works for the Gaming Commission in Tulsa. Wow, I haven’t seen TT since the 80’s when we moved away. Our sons were born the same year.
I-40 probably has more casino then any other Interstate. I’m partial to Sky City Casino myself. I’ve seen that place from the get go, when it was just a tin building bingo parlor. Its grown up to a full blown casino, hotel, travel stop what have you. Gas is cheaper there then in Albuquerque, NM. New Mexico has 3 Casino on I-40.
I got to see the largest cross’ twice, the big cross in Groom, TX. I dunno, I got an email about it one time. When I saw the email I was like “hey thats in Texas.” It is a sight to see, no doubt. But whenever I see that cross, it makes me think “My cross is bigger then your cross.” And so what? I don’t think having the biggest cross makes anyones religion any bigger or better; you know what I mean.
