RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Bombs Fell, Torpedoes Ran: A Pearl Harbor Timeline-- Part 5: USS Nevada Makes a Run For It
Continued from my Running the Blockade blog. All blogs today deal with Pearl Harbor lest we forget.
All times a.m..
9:07: The USS Nevada, hit by a torpedo in the first wave, prepares to leave the harbor when it is peppered by bombs. The crew runs it aground near the harbor entrance to prevent it from sinking in deeper water and prevent it from sinking in the entrance and closing the harbor.
9:10: Defenders are told to cease firing on B-17s trying to land at Hickam Field. The planes, nearly out of fuel from the flight in from California, have nowhere else to go.
9:20: The USS Honolulu is damaged by a bomb that crashes through a nearby dock and explodes underwater.
