Living in the Dallas Metromess for 11 years and attending numerous funerals there, I, dissappointedly, have discovered that metropolitan funeral processions were treated with disrespect and contempt.
Drivers there don t have time to slow down, much less pull over.
San Angelo was different. San Angelo, just as Dallas, may have issues that fragment the community along political, racial and cultural lines, but you can be proud of the unity in the demonstration of a West Texas etiquette on a Thursday afternoon. The family of the deceased were probably so grief-stricken that they failed to notice, and that is fine. But I wanted to make sure San Angeloans were congratulated. Courtesy and manners are alive.
