With no game to cover today, we went to go check out the Oklahoma City National Memorial. On the way we saw this sculpture, which looks like a memorial to penne pasta.

Some Bank of America building.

Scott taking pictures like a true photog.

The memorial, this part being The Gates of Time. The gates, to quote the visitor's guide, "frame the moment of destruction-9:02." 9:01 is supposed to be the moment of innocence, and then 9:03 represents change and hope.

On the 9:03 side of things they've got a fence where people leave items of remembrance.

Ann Arbor street in Oklahoma, which we crossed twice. We got ourselves geograpically confused on the way back from the memorial and drove all over the place.

We spent probably an hour and a half driving around in the rental car refinding our way back to the hotel. During this time we learned that Oklahoma City has (no joke) at least seven Sonic's (the fast food place) and most of those have a 7-11 next to them.
