(3,088 posts)12. My friends and neighbors,
Just across the Red River from me. Eastern Oklahoma is beautiful, with ancient mountains, free flowing rivers, and amazing Native American culture. They are my bitter enemies once a year when the rivalry comes to Dallas-but the rest of the year, they are dear friends. The border is rough and meth-infested, but there remains a nucleus of smart, patriotic, industrious, proud Okies who love their families and their country. They even love their neighbors to the south.
