Even now that we run around in a fairly ordinary T4 rather than SD's beloved Syncro we still get the wave wherever we go.

I'...Wow. . . Wrangler snobs. . . Who knew? ;)<br /><br />I've noticed that motorcylists will usually give each other a kind of raised-fist salute when they pass on the road, also. . .<br /><br />I ride a bicycle, and we cyclists always give each other a little wave when we pass each other on the road. As long as we're going in opposite directions. If we're going in the same direction, then the whole 'competitive' question of who's passing whom comes into play. The faster cyclist will pass the slower one, and if he's a genial sort, he might say, "Beautiful day, eh?" in the few seconds of actual auditory contact, but there is always the implied <i>["I'm faster than you"]</i>. But these days, I just send back the implied <i>["You passed a fat 59-year-old; good for you"]</i>.<br /><br />;)Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044041773404411751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-47901716475563307062015-11-24T12:13:33.836-05:002015-11-24T12:13:33.836-05:00What I like about you, Joeh, is that you have real...What I like about you, Joeh, is that you have really got a handle on the important things in life!The Broadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976467218216864644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-61524072408169655102015-11-24T11:32:51.191-05:002015-11-24T11:32:51.191-05:00Your mind is a most fascinating place to visit.
