Springerville and Jerry Springer

Above, Jerry Springer.

Until April 12, I hadn't thought of Jerry Springer in years, not that I really ever did.

I was heading to Eagar, Arizona on April 12, which John Wayne's former ranch, the 26 Bar Ranch, is located. I was en route to Tombstone. Eagar is right next to Springerville. I was because of that town's name that Jerry Springer came to mind. I don't believe I ever watched his show, but my ex-roommate may have.

Then, word came yesterday that Springer died of pancreatic cancer at age 79. 

It is weird how things like this work out.
