Abandoned

As ever, I am endlessly fascinated by this thread.... I so need to contribute to it....

I was just pondering the other day, the occurrence of things that just suddenly stop being useful to us. I see ancient (formerly horse drawn) plows left in fields....cars left in driveways of long empty houses...buildings crumbling...things that once had a purpose..and meant something to someone. I think about the very last time that place or thing was utilized...and how it's owner probably didn't know that would BE the last time...
I find roads in the woods all the time..that surely used to go somewhere...one thing I have learned about human nature is that we don't really do or make anything without a reason...being a history buff my brain loves to meander on the thoughts of many yesterdays ago...
