I think I have mentioned it before, but when I first moved to VA from NY, I
wondered what the hell was wrong with people. There were people offering to
help (and not just following you around, keeping an eye on you), asking if
you found everything you needed, and wishing you a nice day. What was their
agenda, exactly?
When we had visitors and we'd go out for a walk, people we
passed always said "Hello" and the visitors would ask if we
knew that person. My mom said "no" and the visitors would
be perplexed. But around here when you're driving and you
pass someone walking you always wave at them and they always
wave at you, and when my mother was visiting she would ask
if I know the person and when I said "no" she'd be
perplexed. [obDogs: the guy way up the road with the little
spaniel who's out walking him a *lot*]
In Virginia I really do think it's a case of being polite,
where polite includes helpful. Alaska is the only place
I've been where I felt like strangers were genuinely
interested in each other.
