Natural Woman

Years ago I bought Aretha Franklin's "30 Greatest Hits." Killer, particularly disc 1.

In those days, I rode bicycle to work most days. As I rode, I would often sing whatever song was in my head. One day it was "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman." I was just belting it out, waiting at a stop sign.

"You make me feel! You make me feel! You make me feel like a..."

At this point, I happened to look to my left. There was a pickup truck, also waiting at the stop sign.

With the passenger window open.

And the driver, sitting there, listening to the dork on the bike singing "You make me feel like a natural woman."
