One More Reason

There's a "barn raisin' " mentality in small towns. We've experienced it here recently.

That kind of home grown attitude is one of the things that make a town a town, and not just a place.

This attitude is good not only for "barn raisin' ", but for coaching Little League, volunteering for Meals on Wheels, being Girl Scout Leader, or comforting those in need of comforting.

It just happens. Things fall into place, and folks just seem to know what to do.

The results are good. Interestingly, there isn't a whole lot of debate on how to proceed. People just do. Their eyes are only on the end result, not how to get there.

Just works.

Protocol, precendent, and pagentry take a back seat.

It's just another reason I live here.
