Aaaagh!

This is Cuneiform Indus-Arabic graffiti, on the world's oldest extant boxcar. I'm pretty sure Woody Guthrie once lived in this boxcar. And who knows? Maybe these are his Okie shorthand scrawlings, rosetta stones to song lyrics still tucked away in a basement somewhere. As I type this, a fly is haunting me. It seems especially interested in my right ear. Aaaagh!
