Living in Oklahoma, there are moments where, after viewing something on the news that I know can only happen here, I will sit back and say to myself “Is this a great state or what?” and then cry for a few minutes into the abyss.
Yesterday was one of those moments.
As I was searching the local news for a story to write about, presenting itself to me like dog in heat was a story of a Guthrie pastor that recently had his dirtbike stolen. While, on the surface, it might not seem like a big deal…and then I watched the clip. All the elements for a truly Oklahoma story were definitely in place.
After watching the story, I broke down the piece as to why I felt it was thoroughly ridiculous and utterly newsworthy, especially to Oklahomans. If I missed a definite piece of Okie goodness, please inform me below.
