A headline today in my local paper about the guy who got drunk and stoned
and managed to kill five guys on their way to work a few months ago ....
forced the image of the five neat crosses erected by someone ( family I
assume ) next to the country road where the "accident" happened, about a
mile from here.

It seems such crosses are everywhere now ( in the West, at least ) ... try
the drive from West Yellowstone to Bozeman ... but I don't remember them
from many years back. Any guesses ( real information OK, too :-) as to
why they have increased in usage?

place I loved, not the one where I suffered the last time )
