I was in a funeral procession today - all the way from St. Andrew to Sparkman-Hillcrest cemetery (located across the street from Northpark Mall.)
I was stunned by the number of people - in the opposing lanes who just blew on by, who never made any effort to slow down or much less pull over out of respect. The procession was very long and crossed a number of busy Dallas sidestreets so there were a number of traffic cops on motorcycles zooming about. In a number of cases I was nervous for them as commuters tried to zoom past them so as to not get stopped or at least temporarily held up.
What is the deal?!?!
Are parents failing to teach their children this respectful gesture?
I hear this notion is non-existent in the North and West as well as non-existent in foregin countries.
I do believe I am now officially an "old-fart."
