Not entirely rational

[gfish]

Which inanimate objects do you greet? There have always been trees in my life that I've been particularly courteous to. Mt. Rainier will often get a respectful nod from me. If the moon is especially brilliant I'll say hello, and Orion will almost always get a genial "How's it hanging?" out of me. It just seems polite.

Rainier (Grandfather), certainly. The moon often. Trees with exceptionally beautiful autumn plumage will sometimes startle a greeting from me. Flowers sometimes, especially the first crocus of spring. (If the latter seems too early they will also get admonishments from me to go back in 'cause it's too cold out.) Rain. Exceptionally well-timed cool breezes on hot days.

Usually it's whenever it's a case of mild surprise, actually, come to think of it. Like whatever it is has said hi first; I'm just returning the greeting.

I can't believe I've never heard you say that to Orion.
