So several weeks ago, the uniform guy wandered into my office at work peddling his new catalog and one of the items was a high vis vest. Apparently there is a new rule that says something about safety vests needing to be 'screaming yellow.'
One of the vests caught my eye, and after using it for a few weeks, I have to say that I am still happy.
It gets pretty foggy in the Willamette Valley in the mornings, so I am glad for the vest.
An unexpected side effect is that folks tend to think that I am a safety person.
Except the lady at the market who thought that I was a bus driver.
I was in a hurry and on the phone, so I couldn't politely inquire as to what would make her think that I drove a bus for a living. It wasn't until too late I realized that the high vis vest must be required for bus drivers too.
I can live with that.
As long as it gets me seen.
If I see the lady in the store again, I will apologize for not explaining (she was rather nice).
Ta!
