Duped By The Fuzz
"One headlight means a motorcycle," in the cryptic semaphore of our modern roadways, and motorcyclists always wave to each other.
Therefore, yesterday morning, when I spotted the single golden beam approaching in the oncoming lane, I readied my clutch hand for a passing salutation like I always do.
Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be a police officer - a sheriff, in fact - astride a brown government-issue Harley.
I waved to a cop? I waved to a cop?
I'm anti-establishment, man! I'm a rebel! Sure I pay my taxes and abide by local ordinances, but never before have I pictured myself on this side of the divide between those who exhale and those who inhale when they spot law enforcement.
Is this because I turned 28 last month? How did this happen? Do I have to start voting Republican now? This is distressing.
And I haven't even gotten to the worst part...
He waved back.
