A narrator recounts a man with a white beard who sits on a bench at the end of Pollard Road in San Jose and waves to passing drivers all day. The writer bonds with the ritual, then finds the figure missing and reflects on the oddity of shared greetings and a community moment. The piece ends with a critique of a Stanford study on science communication.
