Abby and I visited her father’s widow Ethel in Ryan, Oklahoma, last weekend. As is our routine, we stopped in Ardmore and got Chinese take-out, which lasted three meals. Our last meal came from the Circle D Café in Ryan, the walls of which were poster after poster eschewing guns.

We pack the food from New China King in a camp cooler for the hour-long drive to Ryan, and when we get there, lunch is still too hot to handle barehanded.
