Here in Palm Beach I try to smile at everyone I meet

When I moved to San Antonio (from a town of 3,000) & would go out to lunch with my new friends, I would say HI to anybody who looked my way. My friends were mortified, because alot of them were men who they suspected were hitting on us.

When one of them (big-city girl) went 'back home' with me to visit, she noticed someone wave at me when we passed them on the county road & asked "Who was that?"
I said "I dunno."
"But you waved back." she said. I told her "Everyone waves at everybody here." She thought that was fantastic.

Funny how you don't really think about stuff like that until you see it from another's point of view.

That’s funny, and yes, that’s small town life, and I miss it. I also miss when you are in TX (at least W. TX) and NM how people will pull onto the shoulder if you are driving faster than they are on country roads and let you pass them. It’s nice, they don’t think they have to make you drive slower just because they want to. It’s just nice. :)
