Here goe...I have been trying to send this for ages. Here goes! Try again! Re your blog about dancing on the subway platform In a town not very far from where I live they play very old pop music over a loudspeaker at the bus terminus. It is a place where lots of young gangs hang out, which can be quite intimidating. The theory is that the young kids will hate the music so much that they will move on in disgust - and it seems to be working. But I really hope that they don't stop the music because every time my friend and myself walk through we cannot resist having a little dance or jive to the music. Peope laugh at us but some say how brave we are and how they would love to join in. I wish they would. Bopping with Bett is one of the highlights of my week.You know what they say - "dance as though no one is watching" You shake a leg and enjoy yourself.xGillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547724732746402325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922197895124992158.post-57511556379800430582009-01-18T15:55:00.000-05:002009-01-18T15:55:00.000-05:00I like your style. I like to do my own thing. When...I like your style. I like to do my own thing. When I was in the US Navy I used to sit on top of the pharmacy safe or on the orthopedic traction frame above the surgical bed to read. <BR/><BR/>I know the attitude you speak of. In Washington DC and its suburbs you get the clerks who think they are doing you a favor to wait on you. <BR/> <BR/>I have lived in cities and small town. I'll take the small towns any time. In New Bern North Carolina I bought a house that was built in 1771 and completed in 1773. I went to the court house daily tracing the deeds back to the beginning. As I kept walking past historic homes the residents started treating me as if they had known me forever. I even had tea at a home that was at one time owned by the inventor of Pepsi Cola. I was invited to the home of a long time resident who at one time lived in my home.<BR/><BR/>Now I live in Virginia Beach where friendliness is hit and miss.<BR/><BR/>My people whatching is now done at my local Starbucks where I read for two hours each day.<BR/><BR/>RayRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308737766288257680noreply@blogger.com
