i passed a guy on the highway this morning. he was standing on the edge of the road, pretty close to the metcalf exit of I-435. he was holding up a cardboard sign that said, "STRANDED," in green magic marker.
now... i understand that there are random bits of garbage polluting the edges of the hi-way. i can see that he might have picked up the carboard in a nod-to-macgyver-moment. the thing i cannot wrap my little hat brain around is this:
where did he get the marker?
seems to me that everytime i need a marker, i am "s.o.l." i can barely find a pen when i need one, much less a magic marker.
i so very much wanted to swerve over the three lanes and ask the man where in the sam blessed hill he got his freaking marker, but the traffic was insane (more insane than these ramblings, if you can fathom it), so i opted to stay in my lane and be driven slowly mad by the plaguing question:
where did he get the marker?
p.s. the guy shown above is a financial analyst. don't let those sign holders fool you. next time, ask them where they got the marker.

I didn't realize Gilbert was actually this close to "Stranded."
"Stranded" looks as though he may have been sniffing the marker...that's probably why he was able to make his sign!!
