Reminders of Days and Years Long Gone

I've been to a lot of places. I have even called "home" in even more spots. Let's see if I remember those locations:

   ~ California
   ~ Italy
   ~ Virginia
   ~ Germany
   ~ Two different places in Spain on different

   ~ Nebraska
   ~ Oregon

What makes me think of those past residences are the many reminders everywhere. Perhaps a billboard or exit sign on some highway or interstate. It could even be images seen in magazines or newspapers. Maybe even a glimpse of my past from the internet, which sadly happens way too often.

What made me remember now is when I went shopping while temporarily (again) in Michigan....
