she’s moving again
how many times, she’s lost count
where will she go next?
the custom manager
threw the rest of her things out
‘good riddance,’ he shouted
her method is the same
she will find another place
it’s a tradition
a man’s there.

Id call her Nancy Nomadic because the rents not free and she has to go. Nice shot Chris.

Well, I had been thinking about Evita Peron, and actually before when she was very young, as her name was Eva Duarte. Love the film!

Some folks wait to travel living their whole lives in one place. I’ve done enough to realize that I could stay put and still be happy 🙂
There are always some good places to go… but at the moment out of country travel just seems a tad risky.
