Being acknowledged is one of the most simple pleasures of life. On walks, in stores, out in "life." It's nice when folks say hi. I do. I also naturally express some sort of "oh I see you there crossing my path" gesture. It's a fine line though. Can't say hi from too far or wait until you're already in their space. They'll think it's an afterthought. A late attempt at being pleasant. Having lived in various regions of the planet there are many cultural differences about acknowledgement. I've been in long elevator rides with silence that would deafen. Huh? You know what I mean. Awkward non acknowledgement. In Italy when folks passed on the street there was always a Buon Giorno, etc. The south too, "how's it goin'?" Good day, etc. Here in Socal I guess it's a mix. 'Sup? Hey, Good morning or a chin up nod. Even an "hola"! There are the occasional "ignorers". If i see them so as to not mess with their juju I do the same. I see your sign. I'd say we live in a pretty acknowledgy area which appeals to my connection with mankind. Man. Kind.
