I think I've suffered fewer injuries from slamming to the ground beneath an old T-10 than in jumping from my perceptions to a conclusion.
And, thank you for your courtesy.
I would have bowed my head, but that's probably to an old Southern upbringing. No logic to it, just like my Jewish friends wishing me a Merry Christmas.
Somehow however, the following rings in my mind....
"This is the grave of Mike O’Day,
He died defending his right of way,
His right was clear, his will was strong
But he is just as dead as if he’d been wrong."
Perhaps it's not as much a matter of personal conviction as it is nurturing personal relationships.
