That hand-lettered sign on the door indicates hours for the pool. But I can promise you that it’s wrong – that pool’s been closed for a while.

Mickey’s, in the rain

To summarize:

  1. It was raining.
  2. Mickey’s may sell guns.
  3. And either they are going to maybe sell knives.
  4. Or they are not.
  5. It could probably  go either way.

Kenton, Oklahoma, is the sort of town that you probably won’t just wander to: it’s way over in the far end of the Oklahoma panhandle, and if you’re coming into town from the west, from New Mexico, you’d better plan on driving on quite a few miles of unpaved roads.

But that’s the charm of it.

And if you’d like to live there, here’s a place that’s for sale.
