necturusToday I took a train to New York to attend a memorial gathering for Marion, who would have turned 53 this coming Monday.
While waiting at Penn Station for my train home, I heard someone on the PA announce the arrival of Amtrak train number 666. Since I've long felt that Penn Station is more or less the first circle of hell, it is an appropriate destination for a train with that number.
I was amused to see that it immediately turns around and returns to Harrisburg, its point of origin, as train number 667.
I m reminded of C.S. Lewis's book The Great Divorce, in which a bus runs back and forth between heaven and hell.
