Fredericktown, Missouri, is famous because my father lived there until he was 11 years old. This picture taken through the bugs on the windshield of our rental car is of a bridge crossing the Missippi River from Illinois to Missouri. 
  Welcome to Missouri.
A while ago my father’s childhood home came up for sale. So I noted the address and we stopped by to take a picture (until the dogs started barking). Fittingly, the current owners have a yellow Mustang.
