One can go walking around the side streets in towns and villages and you meet different people, new people that are curious as to what one is doing. Sometimes one can get some hoots and laughs from passing vehicles. Some of these have a manufacturer's name on their backside and I like to take that. We record it. And some of them, if the box is tucked up against the wall, you can be really poked up.
