The day after the parade, was Halloween, my 60th birthday and our 31st anniversary. We decided to drive down to the big city of Tulsa to see what there was to see. We ended up watching the movie, "Secretariat", which was an awesome movie! Afterwards, we walked around at a nearby mall, watching all the little kids in their costumes collecting candy from the mall stores. They really scored big! We had dinner at Outback and I had the lobster tails, boy were they yummy!! For our twin celebrations, the restaurant gave us the desserts of our choice, free of charge, so we ordered two to go. Yesterday, I finally had my carrot cake with my coffee, it was delicious!
We haven't done much around here, hardly any sightseeing, only because on our days off, all we've wanted to do is just sit and rest. Yesterday, we drove about 60 miles northeast of here to meet and visit with a fellow bus nut. He has a GM bus and we got to take a tour of it and had a nice visit. Later in the evening, we met at Pizza Hut and got to meet a whole bunch more Workampers who are working at Amazon. Things are not going well for us Workampers there, as they have enforced a quota on us all. Some have had it and just walked out, others have given notice and will be leaving, others are just grinning and bearing it. After seeing how they treat their employees, having junk equipment to deal with and other things that happen during a normal work day, trying to get up to their quotas is almost an impossibility, but, we try our best and that's all we can do. I guess if they don't like it, they can always let us go, but, I don't think they are going to do that, because they need us too much for the holiday rush...we're still waiting for the rush to start. We still haven't worked overtime and probably won't before we leave here in two weeks, which is fine by me.
The weather at night is getting colder, but, so far, the days are still nice with temps in the 60's/70's. The only time we get to enjoy the weather is on our days off, as we're inside most of the day and now with the time change, it will probably be dark when we go home.
