People gonna say what they're gonna say...... it's not like there's anything to do about it ... just let 'em ramble on and move on. Yes but .... what if ... ? You could ask that all day long about everything .... and the answer is the same. What if has nothing to with what is, the living present.
The most hilarious guy was a passenger in a car with the windows rolled up. He was yelling something as the car went around me ..... the window was closed of course, so the only one who heard it was the driver ! Just too funny ! As for all the honkers and grumblers on the road .... they come and they go. By far most people are very friendly, the other day a gruff looking guy in a ol' pickup slowed down as I had stopped along the side of the road as I was listening to the frogs in the wetlands .... he simply asked my if everything was alright . I gave a big thumbs up and a smile .... there's lots of good people around ... far more than not. I find most people quite friendly really .... I'm rather communicative on the road and rather enjoy it. I don't live in a high traffic area, the cars a often few and minutes can pass between cars. There's an older man and his wife who I stop and chat with sometimes at a farm i like ride around. He used to work in the steel mills, like many in the are did. Hands of iron and a heart of gold really .... lots of damm nice people around. I love riding around local small farms/farmers .... I wave to all of them without regard... and yes ... I waive to the cows and horses and wild turkeys and goats and birds and pretty much anyone and anything. Riding and walking slow and without an agenda to me is way to get around and meet people like I never could otherwise. I don't need names ..... just being here .... is priceless.
