I love looking at maps. I didn't realize all these countries were formerly Yugoslavia!
Looking down on Durango downtown by Pappa Dukes. The train yard is in the foreground (with a museum) and on the mesa is Fort Lewis College. We are looking north from the top of Smelter Mountain. This is not my photo but it was taken within the last several weeks, as you can see the bright yellow fall foliage, but no flood on the river at that time.

We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say "It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem." Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.

Yugoslavia's 6 multi-ethnic republics were forcibly held together by the dictator General Tito but after his death, it all disintegrated in wars and recriminations during the 1990s.
