RobMerica

Presidents Day with two American Presidents, a President of the Texas Republic, and Stephen F Austin for good measure. All part of the brilliantly named "Mount Rush Hour," located next to Houston's Interstate 10.

75 years ago this week Japan surrenders, bringing an end to World War II. In this file photo, General RobMerica can be seen directing his forces in the South Pacific during the battle of Buna-Gona.

A Day for Presidents? Bully, I say!

The Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble.... but our love is here to stay. Happy Independence Day Baby!

Do you buy your turkeys fresh, or Frazee? As in “Big Tom,” the worlds largest (non-living) turkey in Frazee, Minnesota!

My best friend turned 242 today! An abandoned WW2 airbase in the middle of the Sonoran Desert seemed like the best place to celebrate. Happy Independence Day!!!

Just completed 10 Eastern North Carolina BBQ meals in 3 days. Apparently, I took the concept of "Whole Hog" to mean jamming an entire pig into my belly.

By some miracle, RobMerica is whisked back in time to the golden era of Billy Graham's 1940s Los Angeles Revivals! Hallelujah!

Happy 107th Birthday President Reagan!

Happy 241st Birthday Baby! You don't look a day over 1776.

On Canada's 150th birthday, even RobMerica can get into the act! New Brunswick's Campobello Island - located in the Bay of Fundy - was the summer estate of President Franklin Roosevelt. It is also where he fell ill, and contracted polio. So Happy Canada Day everyone!

Happy 100th Birthday to JFK from RobMerica and Junkyard Jack Kennedy!

MRW you try to celebrate Minnesota's statehood day, but the Capitol is under renovation.

Side Note: Who puts flowers on Jesse James' grave? While you're at it, I'm sure Baby Face Nelson and Lee Harvey Oswald have graves that need tending as well.

It's International Women's Day, and what better way to celebrate than to spend it with a whole slew of Eleanor Roosevelts! This is from a visit I made a couple years ago to Val-Kill, her home along the Hudson River.

Happy Presidents' Day from Lindenwald, Martin Van Buren's estate near the Hudson River. Fact: Van Buren was the 8th President, and the first to be born after 1776.
