The Jury Duty Prison Blues.
 |
Can I hold the Key? http://www.theoldjailmuseum.com/index.html |
I received a summons for federal court.
For jury duty.
I didn't fulfill my oblation.
I forgot the evening check-in call.
Uh-oh.
Since I’m a first offender,
I’d like to go to a Jail . . . Museum!
That would be fun!
I could have my own room at Eastern State Penitentiary.
Breathing space at the Texas Prison Museum
The historic downtown of Truckee, California has a jail museum also.

Stop by and say HI!
Kansas, The Sunflower State.
State Motto - " Ad astra per aspera."
(To the stars through difficulties.)
Kansas was admitted to the Union, as the 34th state, on January 29, 1861
First stop Atchison. The birthplace of Amelia Earhart and the most haunted town in Kansas! Going solo and facing down ghosts. So there!
I’ll be heading westbound on part of the the Santa Fe trail, to Dodge City where I plan to set a spell. A city with two pools!
I’m sure to zig and zag along the way looking at the painted barns celebrateilng 150 years of Kansas statehood.
By the way, The Geographical Center of the United States is located about two miles northwest of Lebanon in Kansas!

On January 26, 1837, Michigan joined the Union as the nation's 26th state.
Time to be a passenger.
The
A
uthentic Crossroads Village is the
home of The Huckleberry Railroad and the Genesee Belle Paddlewheel Riverboat.
And I’ll drive the Great Lakes Circle Tour, a scenic road system connecting all of the Great Lakes.
