Abso-bloomin'-lutely the *only* thing along that stretch, with Boss Hawg hidin' behind the filling station.

LOL, remember the "Eighter from Decatur" signs at both ends of town? That was after Bowie and Fruitland - I've even written about those on FR - about Wagonseller's and all the produce stands.

Hwy 81 - think how many business execs in this world have had to make that same trek in someone's limo or nice car, from the evil Halliburton offices in Duncan to DFW (those that didn't fly private).

"Eighter From Decatur" -- those signs are still there, aren't they?

My trek on 81 was back and forth to northern Oklahoma (Medford, north of Enid) -- all the way on 81. Back in the fifties, it took all friggin' day. You left at dawn and, coming South, the sun usually set around Bowie.

It's been my observation that there is almost incestuous relationship between Hwy 81 and red beer.

Up and down the entire extent of 81 -- from Pembina, ND to Laredo -- 90% of the red beer consumed in the United States is consumed within fifty miles on either side of Hwy 81.

There is "The Bible Belt". And then there is "The Red Beer Suspender"...
