Pulled over by a honking van

A big white van honked at me and waved me to the side of the road today. I thought my truck was on fire or something.

Turns out he'd seen my "Who is John Galt" bumper sticker and just wanted to talk to another rational animal. We chatted for a bit, shook hands, and went on our ways.

It was my first experience of that kind, and I found it much more satisfying even than waving at other bikers when on a motorcycle or waving at other BMW Z3/Z4 owners. In some ways, I wish we Gulcher's had a secret sign and a convention of waving or nodding to each other in acknowledgement of the sacredness of our knowledge.

I'd love to hear similar stories from fellow Gulch members.

I'm leaning against nearly running people off the road to tell them that I appreciate their bumper stickers as a standard means of acknowledgement. I don't see many Ayn Rand references on my daily commute anyway.

At any rate, to pass along some semblance of my morning thrill... A message to all of you: *Wink* I see you and I know what it means.
