I moved...

By no means am I a jet-set, world traveler...  Yet in today's economy one must be prudent.  So I have three "hotel rewards' memberships.  I found a really good deal for my stay in Yuma at one of these chains, and have been staying there for the last month.

Yesterday, I found a better deal at another chain and I moved.

I am struck by how much and how often people move.  And not just distance.  In time, place, intent...

I am in Yuma, Arizona.  Now if you have spent anytime in this State, you know there is a lot of history here.  Yet most people have never visited the train depot/station.


Between the birds and the obvious transient residents, I doubt if anyone has actually visited or intentionally come here in quite a few years.






There was an added bonus, as this is an active rail line...





I am saddened at how much history is being lost.  This particular spot is just forgotten, except by me and the engineer that waved at me and just laid, and I really mean laid on the horn!  He had to come to a stop ahead, yet I could still hear the horn.  I am sure the Union Pacific folks were wondering what was up!
