Mysteries before coffee

February 12th, 2004

As I was walking to work today, I encountered a fellow walking in the opposite direction who dressed in standard street fatigue layers with a bed roll on his back. When we came to be five feet apart, he stopped suddenly and said, “The trails are all choked, time to doke and smoke.” Apparently the proper response from me was an uncertain chuckle, for he made a similar chuckle and we passed on.

About a mile later I came across a sidewalk chalk drawing of the symbol for a muted trumpet.

    I believe you mean a post horn, not a trumpet. Unless the graffitist got the symbolism wrong.
