(ominous) transport

I thought that today I'd be posting a cute picture or two of transporting ourselves, two cats, a whole load of flowers, and so on, back to LA.  And as usual. we're overnighting at La Posada: went for a post-dinner walk down to the tracks - saw the huge headlights of a train that was like Westward the Course of Empire - all one needed were deer fleeing across the tracks - and then: the train.  It was a military transport train: maybe three hundred vehicles?  No tanks, I think, but big trucks, and jeeps, and jeeps with reinforced gun turrets, and ... everything.  It was chilling.  And why?  Or, for yes, military transport trains surely happen, from time to time, why now?  As one of the other hotel guests watching said - maybe it's for Trump's next parade.  Or is it the National Guard leaving LA and heading for DC?  Or ...  Whatever it was, it was very sobering.  Apologies for the quality of the photos: it was dark, and everything was moving ...
