I was in Artesia New Mexico many years ago. I was driving down the main highway and every car in front of me pulled over and stopped. I figured something was going on and slowed to a near stop. I asked my grandmother what was going on (she lives there) and she said that there is a funeral procession comning down the other side of the divided highway.
I sad, so what?
She said that's what people do around here, it's called respect.
I had a hard time understanding it, seemed so silly to me at the time.
