Waving With Your Finger (not your middle one)
→[More:]I was driving around eastern North Carolina today. A lot of two lane roads running through swamps and scrubby pine forests. In that part of the state, as you are approaching a vehicle coming the opposite way, people tend to make eye contact with you and lift their left index finger off the steering wheel in greeting. It is usually old gents with John Deere hats in pickup trucks who do this. Other people around here have commented on it too. I don't think it is just a rural thing because I don't notice it in the mountains (maybe too busy trying not drive off a cliff).
Anybody have anything similar in your part of the world? Here in Raleigh if you see a finger when driving it is not the index finger.
I knocked out
two more counties (Hyde and Dare) in my
"Take Pictures in Each of North Carolina's 100 Counties" project!
