General Talk
first of all, awsome post hippie mama! all great experiences described so far...it was last friday night i was on my way outta town to visit a friend in buffalo. I stopped at a random gas station in this rinky dink little town (I prefer back roads when I travel, far more memorable and you get a real feel of the areas history compared to a highway) to get some iced tea if i recall correctly... so i walk in this store and theres like 2 employees behind the counter and 5 customers in the store, literally every single person just looks at me and stared for my entire awkward walk to the beverage case then over to the counter. Strangely enough i'm rather used to situations as this because I love bright colors, customize clothing, knit and am 6 1/2 feet tall... so i get to the counter and the young male clerk sais "dude, i dig your style!" so i'm all stoked then the female clerk whom is around my age basically interupted him saying "i love your hair" i was very flattered. Especially cause i just sat in a truck for 2 hours by myself and was expecting some conversation just as awkward as the stares i received. Needless to say i resumed my journey with an enhanced sense of pride for the person i am, even if what they recognized was only physical it's still nice to be recognized none the less.
