Of course I walked around to see what was behind the building at the Ludlow Massacre Memorial. And that’s where I saw these discarded information signs.

I’ve lived as a stranger in my own house, too

Abandoned houses reminded me of the Bruce Cockburn lyric* “I’ve lived as a stranger in my own house, too.” from his song “Use Me While You Can.”

*Not a surprising turn of events, is it?

Massacre and the Memorial

We hadn’t really planned on going to Ludlow. We’d planned on stopping in Trinidad for the night; when we got there, the Patient Spouse was checking Wikipedia*, and caught a reference to the Ludlow Massacre. At the very same time, one of my Facebook friends had posted something about…the Ludlow Massacre. And, my blogging friend Matt had mentioned something about it, too, in an email he sent before our trip.

So, of course, we had to go.

*This is also how we learned that Trinidad was once known as the Sex Change Capital of the World.
