Daybreak,
I'm not sure what the double hiccup means, but as a retired insurance agent,
I sure can second your concerns over litigious neighbors and visitors.
And living in N.VA you are surrounded by the seriously wealthy, and are as likely to see
a Mercedes or BMW on your local roads as you will a working pickup.
You are totally surrounded by litigious people, though perhaps not as bad as Northern NJ.
so I can sure appreciate your concern. But what about in proverbial Peoria? Lancaster? Texas?
I think or perhaps just foolishly hope that the climate is different outside of the urban centers.
It's like locking the doors to your home. Many of you likely still don't. My parents never did. Never had to.
The police chief was bored stiff. Not much happening except for the Saturday night drunks.
But if you grew up in Newark, NJ like my Dad did, or East LA, well, I think your attitude towards the neighbors and perhaps
the world in general is different.
We lock our doors and turn on the alarm now. Times have changed. And if the kids have changed, when they become adults, well, that means our next generation of adults might think differently too. I suppose it's the way of the world, but not a comforting thought all the time.
For those of you who live in the big wide open spaces, are we "city folk" just too paranoid?
Are you going to stop those hayrides because they might be "risky"?...
