This is the most interesting thing ever (thanks, Rach!). I’ll never look at “random” marks on the wall again. rach: dradams: “in the upper right corner, perhaps, a homeless man or woman has left a not about to be careful should you sleep there. they have their own language-(Rach) a blogger here told me there was book where you could learn it and when traveling, discern little painted images under bridges and over-passes from your ride- and along railroad tracks.

Keepin' the dream alive
