Reap What You Sow

I tend to take my hat off when I am addressing a female, and often a male.  This is how I was taught.  I have had surprising responses when I travel.  I was in a bus terminal and asked the agent, after I took off my hat, if I had the right bus line brochure for where I wanted to go in Denver.  She said yes and then asked me if I wanted her to show me how to read the brochure.  I said yes, and she was very helpful with her yellow marker.  She reminded me to get a transfer when I reached Denver.  I went on a bus for the first time to Denver.  I changed buses and did fine.  Saving gas and following Laudato Si, the Pope's encyclical.  Left me car in the garage.  Polite is nice.  Women seem to like it.
