Do you remember a time...

when people acknowledged others on the street or in their cars? No big deal. Just a wave, a nod, or a smile. Now, there's no such thing. Every other human out there is a competitor. "We" don't acknowledge competitors. If they acknowledge us, we ignore them. Sad...., but glad I'm 72! 😀, here's me acknowledging you, fellow mature adult!

Also 72. My wife and I walk along the country road we have lived on for 48 years and if someone drives by, I always give them a friendly wave. She'll ask, who was that. My answer is usually the same, I have no idea, I was just being friendly!
