Dude! I was heading to a pickup location where I’m currently waiting. I was on the 134 freeway in North Hollywood bombing along in the car pool lane when I came up behind a Mongol on a Harley.

He moved out of the car pool lane and waved me by. Then stayed a respectful distance behind me for a few miles. After a while he flew past me and gave me a wave.

I was near Mrs. G”s favorite ice cream place. We don’t usually bring ice cream home from there as it’s a 30 minute drive, but my coolers were still chilled enough so I stopped to grab a pint.
The guy gave me a “public service worker” discount. Nice!
