I used to have to go to Oklahoma for work a lot when I drove OTR, and imo Oklahoma and Kansas are the two most depressing states in this whole country

This is why our great nation has different states, so that each can be what they want to be. I think it is great that conservatives have a place to hang their hats as do the liberals. Nobody says we all have to live together.

Oklahoma City: 84.5
Los Angeles: 173.3

(USA average = 100)

So for those who don't get murdered, Oklahoma City is a much cheaper place to live than Los Angeles.

BAWAC is a gay dude living in the buckle of the bible belt. Kind of like Lovecrowds moving to Castro district of San Francisco. Neither is a good idea. BAWAC seems so sad and no, that actually does not make me happy. He should be happy. He should move.

Oklahoma City and Jeddah are both served by major highways numbered 40. Therefore, I must conclude that they are basically the same, and it really wouldn't matter which one I picked to live in. Right?
