‘Everything I Ever Learned About Civility I Learned in a Small Town’
3rd October 2010
Lesson One: Don’t honk unless it’s friendly. And for goodness’ sake don’t honk at the Ford stopped interminably at the town’s lone traffic light. It’s bound to be Miss Carrie, age 82, deciding whether or not she needs to go the bank (right), or straight on home to start dinner (left). What’s your hurry anyway? Honk and make her jump and you’ll feel guilty for a month. Also the older men seated on the courthouse bench will catch you at it.
Wisdom. Attend.
