Growing up, when my folks met someone
Traveling the other way in their car
You got a two finger wave more often than not
Just two fingers raised from steering wheel
To acknowledge you saw them
And to allow some measure of polite
That said you share the journey
And the road

Today,
You get half that

I am old enough to remember when people on the road were civil to one another and if you had a problem everyone stopped to help.
What the hell happened? Thos is really cute and oh so true.

In New Haven at Yale the students often tried to cross trafic stopped by a red light by ducking under a truck. That is when the drivers really did blow the horn! yes and they did it for the kids who knew the signal. LOL latearrival

(chuckling) 'Deer.... not true sir....
take alook at the value of the dollar today against the Yen...it's obvious your paycheck and saving have also been deflated...
