The beautiful prairies that we have been raised to love is what makes Oklahoma such a wonderful state, Bushie. Many good, friendly people live in Oklahoma, and life goes on peacefully and at ease, not rushed like it may be on the coasts. I'd take our Midwestern way of life any day!
I'm alwys bored out of my mind even in the St. Louis metro area. Can't imagine how awful the "peaceful" prairie life must be.
It has its good bits. One of my favorite things as a kid was visiting my friend's grandma's farm near Sauk Center, Minnesota.. playing in the hay loft in the massive barn and running through the corn fields... tire swings... that kinda thing. It was awesome.
