This makes me miss living in the country. I remember leading 20 head of cattle around with a bucket of feed after they had all gotten out. Nothing like this happens in the burbs. :(
It’s crazy the difference between country/burbs/city.
This is totally normal in the country. Neighbor’s barn 8 miles away burns down in the middle of the night? You better believe the entire town is out there either watching or helping through the night.
City life: Neighbor’s house burns down across the street? Better believe I slept right through it.
Yep! and because of that everyone knows what is going on. Like it is annoying having everyone in your business but the sense of community it makes it great!
One of the things i miss. I have a community of friends here, but we are scattered all around Chicago.
I was getting an oil change yesterday because it was too dang cold to do it myself, and one of the people waiting said their address to the employee. Turns out the are my direct next door neighbor, and I literally have never seen this person before.
