Heh heh
Anyway....the very strangest thing happened to me today. An old lady, had to be 75+, stopped me and asked me about my hybrid. I told her I loved it and gave my standard, 500+ miles to a tank speil and we discussed it for maybe a minute. She said she liked my Obama sticker, and started to tell me about how he is good for green energy. I swear to whatever that 45 minutes later that chick had not stopped talking. I know how many kids she has, what they do, how much one of them makes, where they live, how her husband died, where her six homes have been, what features are in the geodesic dome she lives in now, including three bathrooms and an elevator! I know how she and her husband met, her self-image, her world view. It was astounding! There was LITERALLY no break in the monologue. I was flabbergasted each time she segued. I'm not bitching, it was truly a wonder to behold. I cannot imagine what she is like with people she knows. I've been thinking about it all day. She said she was a teacher for 35 years. No, she doesn't know I teach as well...I swear there was no where to pop a comment in! But what must her class have been like!!! Holy crap! Or maybe she's just lonely since she lives by herself and has lost all sense of civil dialogue. Again, I'm not complaining, I just can't get over the strangeness of it. Totally bizarre!
