Tony - you are EXACTLY right! And R&H got that song right. I've lived all around the world and I keep coming back here to Oklahoma. Great place to live.
All the trees lean toward the North because of the strong prevailing year round South winds. And many evenings I've sat on my patios and watched a couple of hawks making lazy circles in the sky while sipping a couple finger of bourbon while the KK is finishing up cooking dinner.
It doesn't get any better!
