The entire lake population saw the wave. One couple which we met early on Tuesday at the Terry Fox memorial overlooking Thunder Bay, we ran into that night again in Grand Marais, Minnesota over dinner. She had been drinking to celebrate her birthday and came over to talk to us. The conversation went like this;
"Hi you guys"
"Hey"
"So where are you guys from?"
groan..."Okay, I'm from Windsor, Ontario. He's from Chicago, she's from New Haven, Conneticutt and Jeff is from Minnesota and Ed is from Wisconsin."
"Wow. How did you all meet?"
Deadpan. "Internet dating."
hahahahahaha.
"Hey have you seen a bunch of people waving like this..." We do the wave.
"Yeah, we saw those people a couple of times. We thought they knew us."
"No. That was us."
hahahahahha
"We've been doing it to everyone."
hahahahahahha
Her husband comes over now.
"Hey honey you know those people that were waving at us? It's them...." Husband grins uncomfortably.
"....and guess what? They met through internet dating!"
Continuing to grin. "Move honey, move."
"No wait....let us explain."
hahahahaha
