I must of hit the jackpot when it comes to being surrounded by good people. My neighbors are elderly and sometimes need some help and I am gladly willing. I watch out for them, and they watch out for me. If I have extra eggs, I give them away to them or the other neighbors.
Other neighbors, we get together a few times a year for a fun shoot. Could be skeet, could be .22s. Then we have a cook out afterwards.
When I go out jogging, or bicycling, I wave to people as I go by.
I make a point of saying good morning or afternoon and smiling to peole I run into at our one person post office.
A few winters ago, my wife’s car got stuck. I was trying to push her out and not succeeding. Someone driving by saw me struggling. He turned around, came back and helped me push her out. Never met him before.
Driving down the county road, you can see many people have gardens. Some have small livestock. Others have medium or even large livestock.
I am sure there are some not very nice people around here.
But we are rural, have harsh winters and know pretty well we are on our own. Going to need to help each other if we are going to make it.
