What's this?

I was just going to say that growing up in Alabama I had never seen a


yarmulke in real life except for one time when I attended a Passover seder. Then I saw a few at UVA. Nowadays, particularly where I worked, but also around Seattle, you see all kinds of head-coverings. Sikh mostly, but also various Muslim sects. The vast majority of Jewish people I know wear no yarmulke. Vastly different from when I was growing up in deeply Protestant Alabama.

Does anybody really notice anymore? Or care? People from different mythological belief systems I suppose, seem to care. Otherwise, treating other people like human beings seems to be a good maxim.
