Central Missouri
Mulgrave Castle near Sandsend, North Yorkshire. Replacing an earlier motte-and-bailey fortification, Mulgrave Castle acted as an administrative centre for the vast Yorkshire estates of its owners and in the seventeenth century found a new role as a hunting lodge. It was re-fortified during the Civil War and then slighted on the orders of Parliament in 1647.
The shot that rang out on the night of October 18, 1869 affected dog lovers everywhere. On that night when Charles Burden found his favorite dog dead. He vowed someone would pay for the murder of his beloved and valuable hound.
The trial of Burden vs. Hornsby was tried in Warrensburg, Missouri on September 23, 1870. At this trial the plaintiff's lawyer,George Graham Vest made his famous speech - essentially a eulogy of Old Drum - appealing to the jury and to dog lovers all over the world.
The speech won the case for Burden, who was awarded $50 in damages for the loss of Old Drum. Hornsby took the case to the Missouri Supreme Court where the verdict was upheld.
Old drum stands on the county courthouse lawn of Warrensburg, MO - just a few miles from Whiteman AFB - my first assignment in the USAF.
This kooky image is one of the few where I don't recommend viewing it LARGE. : )) My fascination with it would be a clear sign that I'm reading too much Stephen King lately....but there's no such thing as that IMHO. : ))
May be viewed large and is available for purchase at LGeoffroy.com
This is part of the ruins of the Franciscan church at Mission San José de Tumacácori.

1906 Locomobile "Old 16" Race Car
In 1908, driver George Robertson and mechanician Glenn Ethridge took this car to victory in the Vanderbilt Cup, America's first great automobile race. It marked the first time an American-built car won a major international road-circuit race. The Locomobile competed while wearing race number 16, and it's been known as "Old 16" ever since.
This race car initially cost an extravagant $20,000 at a time when a decent-sized house could be had for about $1,500. Now in the care of the Henry Ford Museum, Old 16 is still in running condition and is entirely original.
Built in 1901, this was the tallest building in the world from 1901 until 1908.

This is a window from the old bookstore that I took pictures of. I'm still pretty busy, but I'll still post now and then. I haven't gotten around to taking new pictures yet.
As one can easily see from the color scheme, this valuable old house was built long ago when the greenback was based on the gold standard.
