when the community you live in is as small as mine, EVERYONE is special. Most of the people have been here for years, and many are third or forth generations in the area. Everyone knows your name, and watches out for you
I was sitting in the local store (in the deli area) having coffee one morning. My grandpa walked in and told me that he had locked my pickup, because someone he didn't know was looking at the rifle laying in my back seat. I was momentarily worried, because I had left my keys in the pickup. But gramps was smart enough to check for that, and handed me the keys...that is the only time my pickup has been locked here
If I lived where you live, would they think I'm special, too? Or just a little wackadoo?
