[RKDinOKC]

Moved to OKC when I was six months old. Parent's got another house that we moved to just before my 2nd birthday. It was 6 miles from the first house. The barber I went to until he retired when I started HS lived next door to that first house.

Did go to Stillwater OK for college, but had to come back home to help Mom with Dad and his health issues. The same day my Dad passed my brother had his first big MS attack. So stayed to take care of the house while Mom went to help with him. For 2 years Mom and I took care of his youngest son, HS aged. With MS he couldn't handle a rebellious teen. Got the son straightened out and his Mom, my brothers EX took him back. Brother's current wife then divorced him because of the MS. Mom and I took him in.

When bro got to where he was wheelchair bound I bought a handicapped accessible home. Moved Mom and brother with MS into my house. It is a whole 6 miles from my Parents. Sold parents house and gave the money to Mom. By then Mom and Dad had gone thru all of Dad's retirement and the house really didn't sell for all that much.

Lived in first house for a year and a half. From age 2 to age 36 in the second house. Lived here for 22 years. So have lived within the same 6 miles basically my whole life.

I'm not the only one. When in HS there was a fancy burger joint 3 blocks from school. They had great onion rings. The place moved around town, They now have a place 2 miles from my house. Went to get a burger and rings the other day and the guy that took my order was the same guy as when I was in HS. Their burgers, fries, and rings have not changed since I was in HS either. Well, except for the price.
