Vanity Plate for the Day – QD RX

QD RXQD-RX

This one was on the back of a Honda Accord.  QD is the medical abbreviation for every day.  And of course, RX is the abbreviation for a prescription. It was a young woman driving the vehicle so I am assuming a newly minted pharmacist.

Quote for the Day – Samuel Beckett

“Not one person in a hundred knows how to be silent and listen, no, nor even to conceive what such a thing means. Yet only then can you detect, beyond the fatuous clamour, the silence of which the universe is made.” ~~ from Molloy by Samuel Beckett

G8R-FANg8r fan

This one was on a Toyota Camry… Did not have a Florida tag, so I am guessing a transplant or they went to school at the University of Florida.   Of course that could be greater fan.  They are better than a lukewarm fan, and working on being the greatest fan???

Quote for the Day – Sinclair Lewis

“Carol herself was an uneasy and dodging agnostic.

When she ventured to Sunday School and heard the teachers droning that the genealogy of Shamsherai was a valuable ethical problem for children to think about; when she experimented with Wednesday prayer-meeting and listened to store-keeping elders giving their unvarying weekly testimony in primitive erotic symbols and such gory Chaldean phrases as “washed in the blood of the lamb” and “a vengeful God”; when Mrs. Bogart boasted that through his boyhood she had made Cy confess nightly upon the basis of the Ten Commandments; then Carol was dismayed to find the Christian religion, in America, in the twentieth century, as abnormal as Zoroastrianism—without the splendor. But when she went to church suppers and felt the friendliness, saw the gaiety with which the sisters served cold ham and scalloped potatoes; when Mrs. Champ Perry cried to her, on an afternoon call, “My dear, if you just knew how happy it makes you to come into abiding grace,” then Carol found the humanness behind the sanguinary and alien theology.” ~~ From Main Street by Sinclair Lewis.

Quote for the Day – Gabriel García Márquez

‘”You made a mistake, good-looking,” he said. “I don’t do that.” “Of course you do,” she said. “One can see it in your face.” Florentino Ariza remembered a phrase from his childhood, something that the family doctor, his godfather, had said regarding his chronic constipation: “The world is divided into those who can shit and those who cannot.” On the basis of this dogma the Doctor had elaborated an entire theory of character, which he considered more accurate than astrology.’  ~~ From Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez

Quote for the Day – Samuel Beckett

“For to know nothing is nothing, not to want to know anything likewise, but to be beyond knowing anything, to know you are beyond knowing anything, that is when peace enters in, to the soul of the incurious seeker.”  ~~ from Molloy by Samuel Beckett

 

Well… if Beckett is right, then Effingham Trump must be a very peaceful man.

Of course, I still trying to figure out the quote. Either it is a very Zen like statement or complete nonsense…or both!
