Rainy day in Georgia. My son, a Blackhawk pilot in training at Fort Rucker, Alabama has a long weekend and I have winter break and an urge to see him. He picks me up in Atlanta and we drive to Dahlonega, GA, a delightful place. After a good lunch nature calls so here we are, in adjacent stalls in the public convenience. My son says he forgot the camera and will go back to the car to get it then meet me out front.
Time passes, apparently enough that my son expected me to be out front. Uncertain, he opens the door to the public convenience and says "Pa, are you still doing your thing"? My spur of the moment response isn't as clever as I would have liked but he gets the idea.
Moments later I'm washing up in the company of a fellow who finished about the same time as I did. He's a helpful sort, and says I should have answered "No, now I'm waiting for the bus".
A good laugh is a wonderful gift to a complete stranger, and I didn't get a chance to say "thank you".
