You know, every now and then, someone in the small town where I live asks me for the time. Which is interesting. More often, we exchange pleasantries about the Midwestern weather, because there's always something to say about the weather. This is one of my favorite forms of basic community engagement. It's especially likely with older folks and, I don't know, it makes me happy to just say, "Gonna be a hot one!"

This doesn't work if I have headphones in, though, so I try to walk without them as often as I can.
