One of these buildings is my humble (and temporary) home. The collection is fondly referred to as Motel 6 - our way of quickly answering the question: "Where do you live?" This answer differentiates us from those who dwell in "The Trailer Park." They might answer the same question by proudly declaring, "I'm trailer trash." It's sort of our shorthand and it saves us giving away grid coordinates, which most of us don't know anyway. One of the ways the Army, our gracious hosts, keeps us in our place is by not listing our area on the base strip maps they hand out. We don't mind, it makes it harder to plan attacks against us that way.
