Modot,

So Thursday afternoon we were on hiway 17 east of Houston Mo. and came across a modot mowing crew.  My wife in her ever great mood waved at the workers,  most just stood and stared.  Not a single idle worker bothered to wave back.  I guess being cranky is a prerequisite to working for Modot.   Often I pass the workers they are usually standing idle with their hands in their pockets.  So I don't see why they couldn't return a wave.
