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!
