Enough with this shameless book-plugging.
I agree
it needs all the help it can get. There are 285,196 books selling better on Amazon, including a whole bunch of Where's Waldo?.
I used to wave to people in Baltimore... then i took an arrow in the knee.
Haha, I enjoyed Anons comment
When I was a police officer rookie, I learned to wave to people all the time, whether I knew them or not. As often as not, I'd get a friendly wave back.
I carried that into my stint at other places, as much as was practical. When someone doesn't wave back in a community/street situation, it tells you a lot about them instantly--sometimes.
However, I've never been shot at while waving.
