Driving to work today, the rain was coming down slow but steady. My cd player has a shuffle function, so it flipped over onto "Come What May." I turned onto the back road I take down to my office, that passes through a neighborhood. Down the road, I saw a big white vehicle pull out. It was followed by an old white hearse. I've never seen a white hearse before. I could see two more limousines waiting on the side street, so I stopped my car. I wonder if people my age even know to stop for funeral processions.

i didn't know you were supposed to stop. i thought you were just supposed to slow down and try to stay out of the way.

My ancient Vanderbilt guide to etiquette says that you stop to allow them to pass by, and so they all stay together in a group. But, it is an etiquette guide from the early part of the 20th century so that could have changed.
