Today I had the energy that I missed yesterday.  I felt good during the ride.  Getting a good night's sleep is the key to keep going.  The wind has been very manageable at 9 mph from the west.

OKC skyline. The tallest building is the Devon Energy Center, which is the tallest in the Great Plains between Chicago and Dallas. The other tall buildings are BancFirst Tower, First National Center,City Place Tower and BOK Park Plaza.
I remember taking my daughter to a friend's house to play when I heard about a bombing of a building in OKC on April 19, 1995, 168 people died.  The tragedy was one of those events in your life that you remember exactly where you were when you heard the news.

The Survivor tree is shown on the left. On the right, above, the National Memorial and grounds.

OKC has many museums that would be great to visit, but the COVID-19 virus has these closed. I see the notice that such places have been hurt by the closure.  Check with your local museums they may have a fund to help survive this difficult time.   Museums are jewels in our communities.

Our local zoo just opened up and I hope that the same in true for theirs. OKC zoo opened in 1902! It houses over 1900 animals.
