cross/walk
I am not sure why all these crosses were lined up along the street on the outskirts of Española.
I’ve stopped at a lot of roadside crosses, and almost all the time they indicate a place where someone lost their life along the roadway. But this seemed different, somehow. For one thing, there were so many of them. And the death dates were different. Maybe over time, this has developed into the most dangerous roadway in the state. Or maybe over time, this has developed into an ad hoc location to put up a cross for a deceased loved one, if you can’t afford a traditional gravesite.

Yes, I kept out
One thing I believe almost more than I believe anything else is that “keep out” and “no trespassing” signs should be believed.
I was discussing that once with my granddaughter, the fabulous Miss Hannah Harvey, who asked me if that knowledge came from “personal experience” or not. She’s 12, but she’s perceptive.

Honda Inn
I did used to drive a Honda, but as far as I can recall, I never let it go away on vacation by itself. Was that a thing that I missed? Should I feel bad about it now?

Trading Post
I do not doubt for one minute that there are antiques inside this building, if “antiques” are defined by “old crap covered in dust.”
