A Changing Yuma

-
This week begins the changing landscape at 16th St and 4th Ave here in Yuma Arizona. The building formerly a doctor's office and another building formerly an auto parts store and a deli are now gone, razed and hauled to the recycling mill of our memory.

Travis and I had road trip adventures together. Including a dead of winter trip to Crater Lake Oregon in the dead of winter. I climbed up what I thought was a hill, but turned out to be a building in a huge snow drift. I drove Travis and Linda from Lassen to San Diego, for a two day road trip. We all had a good time, I saw my uncle and cousin. We would drink and have a good time. Good times, classify these as good times.  The world is a better place for his having come, and will be a lesser place for him having gone. Rest easy my friend. You have it coming. One less to toast, one more to mourn....
