well see its a natural habit for me (i'm a school bus driver) i wave at
every bus... its just a certain unspoken law of bus drivers...even if you
are from another district... one would assume, with a vanagon community so
large as it is in the PNW, such curtesies would be automatic... guess not...
well if i see ya i'll wave ...weather you do or not...depends on if you want
me to black ball you or not ;) haha just kidding...
see you guys and gals out there!
