you can do that in a larger town/small city. i well remember the
first wonderful day of warm weather after a really bad winter in fort
smith, ar. almost everyone was driving around with windows down,
enjoying the weather. as i approached one of the catholic churches,
i saw people sticking hands out of the car and waving. as i got to
the church, i saw one of the catholic clergy members sitting on one
of the side pieces of the church’s sign, with a big smile on his
face, waving and calling out “good morning”.
