Trivia note for those "not from around here", when people talk about "red dirt" or the Red River, which is red because of the red dirt... that's a reference to much of the soil in Oklahoma and northwestern Texas. Seems like it's more pronounced the further west one goes, starting at about Oklahoma City and west of I-35 north and south of there.

It's clay soil with iron oxide in it. Thus, the rust-colored red soil.

Don’t confuse it with Red Dirt Ready which is a monkier some genius with Homeland Security dreamed up. It was a commie slogan to justify reporting your neighbors. Something like “If it looks funny report it”. Hell everything looks funny here compared to DC.
