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.

Along 66, Feb. 2020: Cuba and the Gasconade Bridge
FEBRUARY 21-- Cuba, Missouri, launches a new tourism app. Reckon they have something about the Wagon Wheel Motel and murals. Of course, I can't get any of those apps on my flip phone.
FEBRUARY 22-- The Gasconade Bridge Guardians have won a lawsuit against the Workin' Bridges group. They were fined $1,000 plus court costs.
FEBRUARY 24-- The Route 66 Association of Missouri has begun talks to take over the Gasconade Bridge.
If someone doesn't take it over and do something with it, it will be gone.

It's Their Whole World-- Part 2: Dog Got Smarts, Human Not So Much
Even the dogs are getting into it. From the DOGS OF C-KENNEL comic strip by Mick and Mason Mastroianni.
First frame: A human is looking at the Siberian husky chewing on the tennis ball with great joy. Human says, "Isn't it cute how he becomes so fixated on that thing?"
Second frame: "It's like it's his whole world!" As the husky continues to chew.
Third frame: The human turns around and takes out his smart phone. Another dog in the kennel says to a third dog, "It's like it's his whole world."

It's Their Whole World-- Part 1
If you're like me, nothing is worse than going into a restaurant or bar and seeing just about everyone with eyes glued on their smart phones. I've seen families of four sitting at a table and the kids both on theirs, then look over to their parents and guess what they are doing?
This is a really sad state of affairs in the world.
This past Sunday, the Chicago Tribune had two comic strips that got a chuckle or two from me.
TAKE IT FROM THE TINKERSONS by Bill Bettwy
We see five frames where a family of four is seated on and by a sofa. You'd think perhaps watching TV,until you see everyone has a mobile device except the Dad, who has a remote. The Mom and two kids never move. The last frame has a fellow office worker asking the Dad "Did you do anything over the weekend?" The Dad replies, "I spent time with the family."
Yeah, Right. --RoadDog
