Lovely, Mbo. It is still like that, where we live. Just today it was my turn to knock on a stranger's door, for help, to report a road wreck on the way to work. (Not my wreck!!!) Unlocked door, and a new friend calling "come in..."I knocked on the porch door, see, and was met with welcome before he even got to the door.... and to go in and use the phone, with no fear, and a mutual wish to have a good day...
Sometimes it's our trun to let someone in to make a wreck report, for ours is the only house with lights on late at night, right on the road....
Come see us, we have a good place to share.
