I do my best to wave at all of them. The old busses and vanagons get
it, but the soccer moms in eurovans look at me like i'm crazy. I quit
waving to the newer ones, seems futile! I roll between Mukilteo and
Everett everyday on the Mukilteo speedway. I'm the blue 88GL w/ now
steel rims (used to be fuchs). Wave and I'll wave back!
