Some of you probably watch "Justified" on the TV. Although somewhat lengthy, here's a link to some real life drama chronological events that occurred in a little town here in Oklahoma.

I found it interesting because I surveyed US 59 through town in '98 and '99. It was..uh..interesting. Glad I made it out of there.

Watts, Oklahoma - The Rise and Fall of a Speed Trap Town

The best part was in Dec. 2002 when the Mayor was busted for meth and his wife for bad checks. Or maybe in 2001 when a Town Trustee's house burned down after she testified to a Grand Jury. Just a real nice place.

Watts is giving my LA politics a run for it's money.

I have also work there and it is all true. I also found it didn't slow down the chicken trucks.

LA style

You know, we do have a Huey Long Community Center in Del City, Ok. Wasn't "The Kingfish" from Louisiana?

LA style

Yes the "Kingfish" was from LA and probably one of the most colorful governors that any state our Union has ever seen.

That's what that smell was! I thought the truck just needed aired out..
