It’s really more of a system of signals, like semaphore, than it is actual dialogue. As long as they can sense/perceive the presence and position of the others limbs, they know what that means. Very subtle. Cultivated over decades of marital harmony. Admirable. And touchingly sweet.

Mmm, how can they use signs if they don’t look at them? Must have great peripheral vision.

How, on Ballard Street, did we miss the 13th celebration of World Naked Gardening Day on Saturday?

It would be a great chance to get these Ballard Street flashers to do some work! You know who you are!

Married so many years, each to a fellow Book Lover…
They’ve further endeared themselves to one another, by developing a way of communicating the basics…
hunger, thirst, love, “I’ll be right back…”
without interrupting, or causing any losing of places.

Hand signals are less disrupting than grunts, erms, ahs, and uhs !
