I present to you a candid shot, taken surreptitiously in my side mirror.

A meeting of two people who do not know each other, do not even live in the same state as each other.

But the one was leaving my check station as the second pulled in. And the first then turned around, came back and waited behind me. To waylay the second vehicle as they finally pulled out, my business with them complete.

You see, the driver of the first vehicle saw the dog hanging its head out the window of the second vehicle.

And dog-lovers being what they are, he had to stop to visit with someone who had the same breed.

Sorta like me reaching in the cab to say high to the Boston that came through this afternoon, before I bothered checking their antelope.

They warned me she could be pretty "testy", but with me, she was just fine.
