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.

States That Joined the Union During the Civil War
Since today is U.S. Flag Day, there were three states that joined the United States during the war years, causing stars to be added to the union.
1859-1861-- 33 stars when Oregon joined
1861-1863-- 34 stars when Kansas joined
1863-1865-- 35 stars when West Virginia joined
Wikipedia has Nevada joining October 31, 1864

Hey, It's Flag Day
Hope you have one or more United States flags flying today as it is June 14th. This became a day to fly the flag by President Harry Truman signing a bill making it a day to observe.
The flag stands for the United States, the greatest country ever to be on earth.
So Proud and Happy To Be In the United States. --RoadDog
