2. my car broke down near, appropriately enough, Mechanicsville (!)

Radiator blew. I got out and while I am waiting for the tow, I see writing on the back of a highway sign, in pencil:

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.

People write smart things in the desert, apparently.

3. LOL! that missive is amazing and beautifully profound!

my transmission blew out

a kindly truck driver called a tow for us and we got towed to Bakersfield

5. Years later, I'm getting off the subway on a weekday morning, I overhear as

One male teenager turns to another, both of them dressed to look tough, and says "Did you learn that shit?"

"yes"

1st one: "bullshit..."

2nd one: "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow..." goes on recites it all.

6. why does that remind me of the liner notes to Lamb Lies Down

I believe a billboard has been in place between Fresno and Visalia for quite some time.
He made a great impression here.
looking forward to next Wednesday!
