I have noticed that I seem to get honked at when I'm running a lot more here. It's possible that I am imagining it - maybe drivers just always happen to be honking at other drivers or situations as I run by. It definitely feels like I am being honked at though. The really strange part is that I am generally nowhere near in anybody's way as I am running; usually I am on a dedicated pedestrian path of some sort - well off the road and far from any sort of intersections. I don't get it.
It reminds me of driving around DC with the senator's wife. She always talked about how people in DC were much more apt to honk for no apparent reason than California drivers. We were driving in a parking garage and she did a quick demonstration.
"Oh there's a person...honk...oh there's a blue car...honk...oh there is pavement...honk!"
Apparently in Alaska, they say, "Oh, there's a runner...HONK!"
I'll pretend they are cheering me on!
