Oklahoma v. 54


No, you are not on the wrong alternate universe blog.  Yes that is Bob- "Mr. Proud to sell back the textbook for full price at the end of the course because it is still encased in the original plastic"- in an actual library doing actual research.  It just happens to be the library at the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater, Oklahoma.  Bob found what he was looking for, and was able to show Becca references to himself, his coaches, and his teammates, who are all part of the wrestling stories she's heard over the years.


 The Hall of Fame is on the beautiful Oklahoma State Campus, right next door to the Boone Pickens Football Stadium.
On the way to Stillwater, we visited Pop's- a celebration of soda pop.  It is on the old Route 66, north of Oklahoma City.  They boast they have over 500 flavors for sale.  Becca and Bob are root beer fans, so they bought one of every variety.  So far, Robusto is the favorite!  I've tasted them all so far- who knew root beers could be so different? Some are dry, have a liquorice or chocolate flavor, or are sweeter. Frosty is a pretty close second.  It has sentimental value for me, since that is the kind we would get when visiting my Grandpa in St. Petersburg as a kid.

Pop's burgers were really good too!

Both sides are covered with pop.
