Here in Charlevoix, in northern Michigan, when I go grocery shopping in the winter, I leave my ‘87 Jeep Wrangler Laredo running in the parking lot. Most other people leave their cars running also. By the way, I’ve never seen a child left unattended in a car in all of the over 35+ years I’ve lived here. There is virtually no crime here to speak of. If a cell phone and packages are stolen from an unlocked vehicle, the news will make the paper .I’ve never had anything stolen or tampered with since I moved here in September of 1976.

You are blessed. I was born and raised in California when its population was 10,000,000. California is now but a Provence of Mexico except for formalities; i.e. formal declaration by raising the Mexican flag over public buildings.
