Friendly faces frequent the roads in rural south central KY

By Linda Waggener

Along the back roads of south central Kentucky, the tradition calls for a wave or a nod whether we know each other or not. Ever since one of our own went off to Butler University and wound up marrying a Hoosier, we've been on the receiving end of their brand of "Kentucky humor". We've forgiven it, except for maybe the one unforgettable ditty that went this way, "One Kentuckian said to another, I seed'ja and know'd I know'dja so I jest retch up and wove atcha."



Ha ha ha, right? Well, no matter what foreigners think, native rural Kentuckians do like, and defend, our tradition of waving.

And when people aren't on the roads or roadsides, one can frequently find a curious, friendly face or two in the fence rows and fields. They may not be able to wave but they can stop and acknowledge a moment in passing. Still good.
