Ruby Tuesday – Copper Creek Inn

IMG_3055

After a long day exploring Mount Ranier National Park last week we descended out of the park into the little town of Ashford, Washington to eat at the Copper Creek Inn. A small roadhouse that really serves good food to the hungry and tired. Sweetie had zeroed in on the blackberry pie while doing research the day before. It was as good as advertised. She ate it before I could take a picture of it.

Plus, being from Oklahoma we are always in continual amazement at how many people actually keep their windows open. Ours in Oklahoma are buttoned up from March to October.

Of course what I liked was the stick alphabet on the outside of the building.

Ruby Tuesday – Manly Oil and Gas Show Edition

Red, Red, What is Red????

IMG_6851

I know last year’s Oklahoma Oil and Gas Trade Expo in Oklahoma City is Red.

IMG_6866

The oilfield requires rough and tough stuff. The stuff painted red is the most rugged stuff. I don’t know how that got started but it is true.

Blue is used for electronics and other sensitive items that don’t belong on a drill site.

There was lots of manly red at the oil show.

My employer’s booth didn’t have any red. White and Blue are our colors. There may be “nothing finer than a pipeliner” but we don’t have all the manly stuff that oil and gas producer’s have. If we did, we wouldn’t be pipeliners, we would be producers.

I think this shoot out was a tie, what do you think?

Saint Barry Switzer, former University of Oklahoma football coach was there. Manly stuff and football go together.

This isn’t red, but it is still cool. A natural gas powered motorcycle.

I took these pics in October 2011, so they have had time to marinate.  Have you seen any manly red lately?

Ruby Tuesday 2 -Painting the Town Red

I’m in New Orleans for a few days this week.

The red theme started in Tulsa at the airport.

Flew into New Orleans, checked into my hotel, and the red paddles on the paddlewheeler  was one of the first things I saw through my room window.

My readers know that I have a think for red cranes. Sorry.

The streetcars were out.

The Norwegians are coming, the Norwegians are coming, Vikings, run for your lives.

Two carriages and a donkey. Don’t you think a four row carriage is a little much for one donkey? I think so!!
