not so lucky for many motorists who had to wait for this very long and slow freight train to pass through SE Portland
A few years back I bought a book called Everything is Wrong by Robert Anton Wilson and amongst all the conspiracies and plots that are detailed therein is a section called The 23 Enigma. In biblical parlance, the scales were lifted from my eyes and I started seeing 23’s everywhere. Is this occurrence of 23’s a sign of God as infinite jester? Don't know, but I feel there are enough mathematical, literary and historical occurrences to make one wonder.
