Spitball Army

A recently-unearthed ticket stub from one of the best concerts I have ever attended.

While I was in the Summit movie theater, watching a film, a good Samaritan left this note on my windshield. I noticed no damage.

On the other side of this note – which was apparently half of a greeting card – was written, in a different, more mannered hand: Love Granny & Paw-Paw.

“At least the world will end, an event anticipated with great joy by many. It will end very soon, but not in the year 2000, which has come and gone. From that I conclude that God Almighty is not heavily into Numerology.”  -Eugene Debs Hartke (K. Vonnegut), Hocus Pocus
