Good suggestions Anaraven.
We have met really good, solid folks through those rather innocuous conversations. People that live locally and think reasonably alike. We take our time to get to know people however. It is vital to be a small group as opposed to being an “island.” The term “strength in numbers” Comes to mind. We were fooled only once. My wife has a keen sense. I’m not shabby either, but one character blindsided us both.
