Long time no comment - been busy, but I just wanted to let you know, that largely due to your example, I have today placed an order for a scooter, in preparation for my winter commute. OK, so it's nowhere near as cold here in north wales than over there, but I refuse, this year, to get back in my cage like I've done every winter so far. That is all ;) Hi Gary.

Prior to that she had seen me in the classroom. First thing she said was, "You look so much more menacing in that black hat and glasses". ( MORE menacing? ) I usually wear a black baseball cap and black Rayban Aviators on the range. I get the same reaction as the Snark wherever I go. I'm usually yelling, "Wait, I'm sure after you get over the initial fright you'll find I'm really a nice guy!"

People I meet on the road seem to be intimidated by me. Maybe if I didn't use a black visor and took my helmet off... I have the same problem as Steve.

But if you want to describe the feel and character of a place to other human beings, you really have to connect with the people who live there. Your blog has inspired me to pay more attention to my photography. Seriously, I think of the fact that you will be seeing it every time I set up a shot now. Maybe my work here can inspire you to explore different approaches to your communication? Just a thought...

I admire your ability to meet people on the road. My loner tendencies keep me pretty well isolated. Maybe if I pulled out my earplugs when I stop.... Great story.
