My Ma has another Blog! After the first messed up some how, she re-established as the Liturgy Mouse 2. I have changed the link to the side accordingly. Go and read the many adventures of my Ma.
Do it.... faster!
In other news I am so tired. Film @ 11. Or not.
I hope everyone is well,
peace,
Joe

It is an uncomfortable thing when strangers wink at you.
Ok, don't say to yourself "no, it isn't Joe." Because it is. You know of what I speak.
I'm not talking about some nice old lady or corduroy-clad old man winking at you about the fact that they just gave you a nice piece of bubble gum (they have that right, you know). No, I am talking about one person winking at another person knowingly because they are both driving trucks.
You heard me.
While my car was being fixed, I was driving a full-sized Chevy Silverodo. Let me tell you, things are different up there, in the land of gas-guzzling-no-I-cannot-park-there SUVS. First off, you must master the art of not hitting others in a vehicle obviously designed to be driven on roads proportioned for some long-dead race of giants. Secondly, people in other trucks nod, wave, and yes, wink at you as if you were a member of the Masonic Order of Truck Owners. At first you think folks are just being friendly, but after awhile the pattern emerges too boldly to be ignored.
For example: I was driving said rental truck the last day I had it, when I came to a four way stop. A guy about my age was at the other stop. I motioned him on. He motioned me on. I motioned him again. He accepted. As he drove by, the guy clearly winked at me. I did not do what to do, so, with the windows down, I said "hey, thanks" to him. He winked again. This time I did not have time to respond, though I waved to no one in particular, not wanting to be rude.
Question to truck owners: does this happen to you too, or am I just a purty young man in the South? Please do tell.
I hope everyone is well.
Peace,
Joe
