We only lock our doors at night. If you live in a place that you cannot trust every neighbor within a stone’s throw to feed your goldfish when you’re on vacation then you deserve jungle consequences.
“We only lock our doors at night. If you live in a place that you cannot trust every neighbor within a stone’s throw to feed your goldfish when you’re on vacation then you deserve jungle consequences.”
So true. We seldom even lock our doors at night. This spring we’ve often left the main door wide open at night with just the screen door in place in order to catch the night-tie breeze. And it doesn’t even have a latch on it, although it squeaks when opened. I’ve lived in this spot for 40 years, and within two miles of our place for my entire life. I know all the families nearby as property has just been handed down through the generations.
Those such as my parents have passed on and grandchildren are living on the property that their parents inherited, who inherited it from their parents, and so on. Other than family divisions of property after a death, the property lines have all remained the same throughout the years. Such continuity provides a certain sense of security.
