Hay there!

Back to the many ‘World’ capitals theme that I’ve touched on before.  Here’s more evidence they should be taken with a grain of salt.

I came across this sign along Highway 69 just outside tiny Big Cabin, Oklahoma, on my travels a while ago.

 And yes, a bit of research shows several other burgs claiming the same thing.   Here they are: Gayville, South Dakota; Gilbert, Arizona; Yates Center, Kansas; and Inola, Oklahoma.

In case you really want to get into the weeds, the difference between hay and straw is explained here.

I was happy, by the way, to NOT encounter Big Cabin’s other claim to fame.  At one time the town derived fully three-quarters of its income from speeding tickets.
