We had a Good Day yesterday. I made biscuits for breakfast. We went for frozen custard at Rusty’s, then took the long way home, exploring a good bit of southern Oklahoma. The weather was beautiful, perfect for driving with the top down. We passed through several of the little towns Berck flies to.<\/p>\n

One of the little towns along our way was Maysville, which doesn’t have an airport but does have an aviation theme about it. There’s a diner with a plane tail sticking out of the roof. This is because Maysville is the home of Wiley Post<\/a>, who seems to be the most famous Oklahoman in the world, barring Will Rogers; the two men died together.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, Maysville doesn’t have much to offer. As we approached the center of town, the street signs proceeded as follows:<\/p>\n

1st ST
\nSECOND ST
\nTHIRD ST
\nFOURTH
\nMAIN ST<\/p>\n

I guess Maysville couldn’t afford congruent street signage.<\/p>\n

Main looked very much like an alley, the next street being far more main (and a state highway).<\/p>\n

We turned east onto it, then back north when we got to Lindsey, which is big enough to support a McDonalds. Speeding along, we passed one mobile home with a man outside practicing lassoing a sawhorse. “Well,” Berck remarked, “I guess you can’t get any more stereotypical than that.”<\/p>\n

Actual Fact: Wiley Post was the first man to fly around the world solo. He also developed the first pressure suit for high altitude flying, using it to reach a record of 50,000 feet and discovering the jet stream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
