Yearn for Oklahoma...

Where is  Oklahoma state?  Right in the middle of the United States. It's not the cultured East or the wild West or the frigid North or the humid South but exactly where all those things meet. It's also a place which weather can be challenging because three different weather systems converge in this area ; meteorologists in this state are famous like rock stars.
Oklahoma city, the big town of this state, seems to be a place where it's nice to live. People are kind and humble, the exact opposite of Texans just below them. There is a life in downtown, citizens have accepted 20 years ago to pay more taxes to allow the city council to built and run public services. They have, like many european cities, a public bikes service.
In 1995 they were hurt by a bombing attack (like in Denmark summer 2011) which cost the life of more than 150 people and injured more than 500, the bomber was a Gulf war veteran. Sad story...

Let's speak about famous people down there. Do you know Kevin Durant? It's a basketball player, one of the best of all time. He is good in his sport and he seems perfect, nice with everyone. He has decided to stay with the Thunder team of Oklahoma because he likes the behaviour of people there. It's the place also of a well known rock band : the Flaming Lips.
Oklahomans folks are proud of their city...
