Around here (NNY) people wave to one another all the time, at least in the
small towns and rural areas.  I'm always waving back to some other driver
and my wife asks if I know who that was.  "No", I answer, "do you?".  She
doesn't.  They were just being friendly.  One of the reasons I like the
country better'n the city.  Just one of many reasons.
