Air five or wi-five … has an advantage for participants who are otherwise too far apart to achieve physical contact at the moment of the gesture.

the first high five occurred between Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Oct. 2, 1977 in Dodger Stadium.

…It was a wild, triumphant moment and a good omen as the Dodgers headed to the playoffs. Burke, waiting on deck, thrust his hand enthusiastically over his head to greet his friend at the plate. Baker, not knowing what to do, smacked it. “His hand was up in the air, and he was arching way back,” says Baker, “So I reached up and hit his hand. It seemed like the thing to do.”

After retiring from baseball, Burke, who was one of the first openly homosexual professional athletes, used the high five with other homosexual residents of the Castro district of San Francisco, where for many it became a symbol of gay pride and identification.

…the “low” five … has been a part of the African-American culture since at least World War II. It’s probably impossible to know exactly when the low first transitioned to a high, but there are many theories about its inception.
— Blows my mind that the high five didn’t exist until 1977. High five - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The high five is a celebratory hand gesture that occurs when two people simultaneously raise one hand, about head high, and push, slide or slap the flat of their palm and hand against the palm and flat hand of their partner.

Favorite wikipedia article of the week.

I forgot to mention that Lily and I started a new blog about tiny houses called Tines Among Pines. Second of all I had a dream I was living on Mars and some friends started a bakery there and it was pretty cool. But people were coming and going from/to Earth a lot which isn’t going to be possible for a while so I was thinking I was really imagining the Moon! So anyway I kind of want to move to the moon now . Especially since I remembered my only post on Tines. I already have a TV like the one pictured so. Also, hello, destiny, my blog is called Lunar.
Can you imagine the future where I’m actually blogging Lunar from the lunar surface?! It seems totally unreal right now but what if it actually happens in the future. Singularity guys, think about it.

If people weren’t already staring at you just for wearing the gawky camera-glasses, rest assured they will once you start barking commands at your own face.
