I really enjoyed this interchange.

It is funny is that Wash*ta is the phonetic spelling of the Indian name 
Ouchita (Google it) found on places in AR and LA.  At one time it was the 
name of a maker of canoes -- plastic as opposed to aluminum from Grumman 
and Alumicraft.  Memories of the Guadalupe River in TX.

OK is what used to be called "Indian Territory".
