Good Morning
June 25th, 2008 by Jonathan
This really made my day. I’m in my back yard this morning zipping up my motorcycle jacket when I see a lady riding her bike through the alley behind my house. She was wearing an bright orange vest and had a small orange triangular flag attached to a pole on the back of her bike. As she rides past my yard she says “Good morning!” A complete stranger says good morning to me. Kinda gives me the warm feeling that I have good neighbors and the city DOES have some good people living here. When was the last time you said good morning to a complete stranger?

I’d probably say good morning to people more often if I could get my ass out of bed in time to be social in the AM. However, I DO say hello and always tell people to have a good day whenever I’m walking on the street or buying something. But I’d say that I gt about a 40% return rate here. For instance, I held the door for some snotty bitch the other day and she didn’t even say thank you and walked right on through. I said “you’re welcome.”
People in Maine were so nice and I chatted it up with everyone there…which says a lot since I’m not the most socially outgoing person. Here, no one wants to talk. So my conclusion is that your neighbor is from a foreign land other than east coast asshole territory.
