You might also want to consider Mountain Park. That is a cool place.

The less people there the better. I don't want to wait in line, which is what I hear it is like most times.
Let's give the place some "bizness!"  |

Warning: Blood pressure check
White House officials and some members of Congress reacted strongly Sunday to news that insurance giant AIG had intended to pay out $165 million in bonuses and compensation. The company has received at least $170 billion in federal bailout money.
AIG lost a record $62 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008. It has more than 74 million insurance policies issued in 130 countries around the world.
If that doesn't beat all.  Okay, so people earn bonus' for running a company into the ground.
AIG's insistence on bonuses raises ire in Washington - CNN.com

Hey redbird, the big corporate CEOs have to have their golden parachutes dontcha know?
How are those poor wretches to survive while we common folk eek out a living on practically nothing?
Have you no sympathy?
Two or three mansions are not easy to upkeep my friend. 
This country is turning into the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. There is no middle class any more.  |

Meers, Oklahoma. Just on the northern edge of the Wichita Mountains.
Use google maps at Google Maps. Type in "meers, ok." |

If J is feeling well enough by then it is very doable.

Lucky you!! The only time we went it was PACKED, Noisy and we had to wait about 20 min to get a table. ... I loved the place and the *decor* but I was a little underwhelmed by the food and the service. I would love to give them a second chance though. I didn't have the famed Meer's burger, I ordered a regular cheese burger and a side of Chili. The Burger was ok and the Chili was quite good! But... our Son-in-law ordered the Chicken Fried Steak which LOOKED amazing but it was mostly raw in the middle. 
I love a good rare steak, but Chicken Fried running blood into gravy looked nasty  Unfortunately our waitress was running herself ragged and she never made it back to our table until we were done and ready to leave...
I need to go back and try again... I am terribly spoiled to our Cedar Street Grill here in Duncan and I tend to judge all other Burgers to theirs.

I agree with your 1000%. The problem as I understand it, is a contractual one that was made earlier. AIG cannot be allowed to fail because it insures world wide - but the government can step in and run it like it did with some other banks that are successful today.
Personally I'd like to see all the million dollar salaries and golden parachutes fall like a house of cards it is and not be allowed to happen again. We will recover, the real question is whether we can remember this 75 years from now.
I still think we should have a national tax that is small, time limiting and untouchable for the sole purpose of paying down the national debt.
