Thoughts

Thoughts from today:

Why do I feel the need to smile and nod to someone that happens to be driving the same kind of car I am (like we share some sort of unspoken kinship)?  Does everyone feel this way?  Are they looking back at me like, "hey look, same car, cool".  Or am I mistaken?  I guess it gives me a sense that I indeed made the right decision in buying this car.  Proof, if you will, that this is indeed a good one.  Good enough, that several other people have it.  When we owned a different vehicle (I won't mention names, but sounds like "folks dragon"), I rarely saw another one like it.  And believe me I searched frantically every time I was out and about.  Looking for someone who knew and understood my pain.  The pain of having to sell our children to afford parts for the thing, and who understood that getting it to actually start up was a crap shoot.  So yes, I will nod and smile my little congratulatory smile and hope that look they are giving means "and to you ma'am".
