1. Post these rules before you give the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about where they live. 3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. tag your article as meta; 8 things about where you live and Uncheck ALL OF NEWSVINE.
5. At the end of your blog, you need to post it here... http://8thingsWhereULive.newsvine.com

1. There's a huge freaking wind farm here. On airmen's maps (I don't know what their real name is anymore), you'll find a huge blob around Weatherford, OK marked "WIND FARM" with the height of the tallest windmill. That's because of fact #2.

2. It's always so windy!

3. It's the home of Southwestern Oklahoma State University. That makes it extremely odd that the whole town shuts down by ten, and nothing downtown is open on Sunday. Wal-Mart is open 24 hours but that's it. You can't even get a burger past midnight, which is hard on me; I used to get those at 3a back at my old school. If you do decide to hit Wal-Mart at the oh-so-late 11:00, the streets are absolutely deserted. It's kind of eerie, actually.

4. If you mention that you were up all night to watch Olympic football, everyone looks at you funny because a) they don't realize you mean soccer or b) they do realize it and think you're crazy for watching such a silly sport.

5. We're deep in the heart of Bushland. It's a bad place to be gay, not a Christian (Muslim especially), pro-choice, or tolerant of those groups. The only exception is Libertarians, which are few and far between. This is the most conservative college town and (public) student body, probably, in a wide radius.

6. Astronaut Tom Stafford lived here. As such, we've got the Tom Stafford Air & Space Museum, where I touched a tire that had been in space and made a big deal of it for lulz.

7. A few miles to the east you come across the little town of Hydro, near which was the original Lucille's along Route 66. The Route 66 culture is really prevalent in this area.

8. Still, strangely enough, there's an Internet cafe!
