I just returned from Goodwill in Augusta, Maine, where I dropped off a couple of bags of clothes at the drive-through. The young man-bunned worker who collected my bags said, "I like your license plate."
Me: Oh, you know who Jack Kerouac is?
Worker: Yeah.
Me: Cool. The Dharma Bums is my favorite novel of his [hence my license plate: DHRMABM].
Worker: Mine, too. Visions of Gerard is a close second.
Me: It's high on my list, too. Many say Visions of Cody is his masterpiece.
Worker: I'll have to check that out.
And we said our goodbyes.
My mind was too blown by his mentioning VOG (a sign of a true Kerouacian) to even mention my blog or my book.
Next time.
Hah!
