Oklahoma

Oklahoma City


February 9, 2004. Had to wait my turn. Some fat old guy in a black suit with a liquid dribble punctuated by explosive bomb drops was occupying the most easily accessed facility. Quite a well equipped (if overly marble-laden) stall. Fig bars and gas station coffee provided the fuel.

I usually avoid describing the tourista ascpects of the building in general, but there are couple of notworthies here: (1) they've got oil wells on the grounds (in front and in back); and (2) the dome was put in 2001 -- it was part of the original design, they ran out of money during WWI but needed the space, so they capped the hole and moved in.
