I’ll give you that caveat. My brother lives in the rural town where we grew up in the butthole of Oklahoma, and his water is so hard that they justified spending thousands of dollars on a whole home water softening system. My in laws pump their own water and it’s foul. I think they need to be filtering it. I think there’s something in their groundwater.
As for the water in the urban and suburban parts of Oklahoma City, it’s pretty hard to find truly bad tap water.
I played bass with a little four piece band in college. I’d listen to a lot of music with the bass turned up so I could learn basslines, practice them, and then build off of them and do my own thing. And it was a pretty easy transition since a bass is strung just like a guitar without a B or high E string. I haven’t played regularly in a long time, but I do find time to get the guitar out and kill time when I’m at home alone here and there. Most of the music I listen to is one of like four different chord progressions, each made up of three or four chords lol
I used to own an HR-V. They’re good cars, but slow as stink. They took something with the wind profile of the CR-V and put the same engine in it as the '06 Civic. Still did like high 30s/low 40s on gas most of the time. So that was cool. Plus, it’s pretty spacious. It just needed like 40 more hp. Or a manual. Or both.
It was built on the same platform as the Fit so it’s got the neat rear seats that flip up. Seriously useful small car. I once hauled a whole ass 60" countertop halfway across the state in it. I guess they just decided the American market wants to go upsize. The Fit is probably one of the best suburban cars ever.
Fall and winter are the best in Oklahoma. I fucking LOVE the end of the year. We get one or two good snows most years, but it never snows enough to need to salt the roads all the time. It’s 40-60 degrees throughout the entire season. It’s one of our dry seasons so most days are sunny. You can spend basically the entire season outdoors in normal clothes.
I’d move to Seattle or Portland or Denver for the weather, but there’s no way my line of work could afford the cost of living there. Also, my wife’s family is all here and she’s not keen to move 2,000 miles away. Can’t blame her for that.
No doubt. Wanna fight me? (lemm.ee)
