8:30 am.  Up and ready for the day.  Sort of.  Haha.   

Well, Greg called receiver on Friday and they said come over at 1 pm.  He called this morning to verify appointment and was told 10 am.  I hope we don’t sit all day!  

9 pm.  Well, we sat all day.  They were supposed to work us in and call when ready.   No calls.  Greg finally got fed up and drove back up to the guard shack and he called to see what was going on.   We had to wait a bit more but finally got a door.   Took them 30 minutes to unload us.  Now the planners have gone home and we have no trip waiting on us.   Unbelievable!  

So, we are back at a truck stop for the night.  We are in the Tonkawa Indian nation area.   

I didn’t get many pictures today.  Hard to when you only go 19 miles.  

Ponca City town hall. 

   
 
Pioneer Woman statue as part of the Marland Mansion.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._W._Marland_Mansion

Also a video.   Wish they had truck parking.  I bet it’s something to see.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyvoc8Us86A

   
  A field of canola.  This is where canola oil comes from.    There are acres and acres of it around.  Just beautiful.  

Precious refuses to get back in the truck.  Not that I can blame her today.  It’s warm and sunny.  And very very windy.  

Phillips 66 oil refinery.  

  Really pretty sculpture in the truck stop.   

Annie’s work station at the Towanka Travel Plaza.   
Nice place. They have a couple of TVs in the eating area and they leave the remotes on the tables. 

Leaving the truck stop and going back to the truck.   Smell hits you right in the face.  Three cattle trucks with very unhappy cows in them.    Clomping around so much in there it’s a wonder they don’t bust out.   

Where’s the beef?  Right here. Hamburger on the hoof.  Wonder if they know where they are going. I imagine them talking to each other speculating on what is happening.  Like people some think it’s a joy ride. Others a field trip. Maybe we are going to greener pastures some may think. Then the reality hits. They pull up to the monstrous processing plant. They see empty trucks leaving and wonder what has happened to their kin. Screams of horror fill the air. Kicking and bucking ensues. But it is no use. Death awaits them. There is no escape. 

Nope, didn’t phase me. I still want a steak. If God wanted us to eat only vegetables he wouldn’t have made meat taste so good. Nuff said. 

Well, college basketball season is over. What a game. One for the ages. In case you missed it UNC and Villinova were battling back and forth the whole game. V was ahead in the final seconds and UNC player hit a three pointer with 4.7 seconds left to tie it up. V inbounded the ball, brought it down court and at the last second hit a three pointer to win the game and the championship. 

And that’s all from the road. Good night good people and God bless.
