My grandmother, a native-borned Texican who lived half her life in Oklahoma, used to say that Texas had the good roads and Oklahoma had the rich politicians.
I'm not talking about the "rich politicians" part, just the "good roads" part. I think our politicrits are, by and large, just as worthless as they've always been.Well at one time all 77 OK county commissioners were under indictment or being investigated for corruption/criminal activities.
I like Windsor Canadian as an every day bourbon. In Ponca City it costs $22 per 2 liter, In Tulsa it costs $18.MO does have the best roads in our proximity. We get nothing for our tax dollars.
A little off topic; MO has the best liquor prices as well. Our favorite cocktail is Mojitos and we use Bacardi Rum. A 1/2 gallon at the Langley liquor store 36 to 38 bucks, At Sam's in Joplin the same bottle is 28 bucks. Buying our liquor in MO pays for fuel, we usually buy 3 or 4 at a time. MO does some good things without taxing people to death.

This is true in some areas. I still drive to STL, Houston, and New Mexico pretty often. Not all of the roads are great, but some are good and you can run smooth at 80 mph. I can't think of hardly any places in Oklahoma that are good.Having traveled over a lot of miles of Texas highways over the last two months, I can say that their highways aren't much, if any, better than ours. They have some truly awful 75mph 2-lane highways way down Texas way...
Oklahoma does need to attend a good bridge building school.The Cimarron Turnpike is ridiculous. It's the only turnpike I use, and that's rare fortunately. It's so rough that we can't keep drinks in the cup holders and any where there's a bridge, brace for impact when driving on to and off of the bridges................as in the rear of the truck leaves the ground and my traction light comes on. I know a 2012 F350 is no caddy but good Lord!! I've lost a spare tire, broke a spare tire cable, and 3 of 4 lug nut covers since September.
