I want to make a full disclosure. I learned the Pledge of Allegiance and the US Flag in Elementary School. Later, I learned about the American Revolution and Paul Revere’s Ride. In High School, I took the required course in American History. I read autobiographies. I read “Profiles in Courage” […]
We, in Midwest America, in Missouri, in Saint Louis are in the midst of a heat wave. This week in July has had a sequence of very hot days — the mornings are hot and humid, the afternoons are like ovens, and the temperature doesn’t let up at night. I […]

The exact coordinates from Google maps are Latitude 38.62479534157054 North and Longitude 90.18429628548255 West.
