Interesting…

I was standing out on the sidewalk in front of my office building this morning, enjoying some nicotine therapy, and observed a truck parked right in front. It had a mural on the side featuring a bunch of tombstones, and on the door were emblazoned the words, “National Cemetery Administration”. The driver was hanging around near the truck – eying me somewhat speculatively, it seemed to me – but I almost immediately brightened at the prospect that he had perhaps come to collect one of our more obnoxious political appointees. Eventually he drove off, without taking either me or one of the aforementioned politicoes, so, on balance, I suppose the whole thing was a bit of a wash.
