Yes, I can relate to that feeling. I have had non-traditional jobs for a woman most of my life. I went to a Blessing of the Bikes ceremony at Starved Rock, IL a few years ago. The Catholic priest came up to my bike with the holy water and asked if I would like my bike blessed. I replied, " Sure, I'm not Catholic, but I can use all the help I can get!" :2tup:
