We have arrived at the first exit in Oklahoma...Miami. A small community with five (yes, five) casinos to choose from. We rocketed out of Springfield, Illinois around 8:00 a.m. and slid through St Louis in a fog (literally a fog...or was it smoke...we aren't sure) We had lunch in Marshfield, just outside of Springfield, Missouri (are you confused yet?) at another family diner. This one didn't offer Dad a Senior Citizen discount. But we both had a breakfast plate for $3.49. Arrived here in Miami under sunny skies and 71 degrees. Lovely.
At 6:00 or so, after naps and computer time, we headed to the "Stables" casino where Dad played the horses and I played slots. The laws in Oklahoma are strange and all the gambling (slots anyway) have to be based on bingo or lotto. So the playing is a bit strange on some machines. It's kinda hard to figure out what's happening, but you manage. Upstairs was a crap table that used cards instead of dice since dice are illegal in Oklahoma.
We had a great dinner in the Stable's dining room rather late (8:00) and now, once again, we are exhausted.
Tomorrow we head for Shamrock, Texas. I'm sure there won't be any casinos there!
