I have a whole family of convicts across the street from me, so will pass on the community get together’ s, they are penny ante type robbers.

This is a neighborhood that does not want to mingle, some of us have been here over 30 years.

It was a shock to me, I didn’t expect to ever live in an area like this.

I'm sorry to hear that granny. Keep your powder dry!

Seriously, I do think more and more of this society is the same as what you are encountering, except for some of the rural areas perhaps. We only know about 2 of our neighbors - and that's 1 more than I want to know. (the ones right next to us are plain trashy).

However, at our cabin in the mountains, we know everyone. We go up there for peace and quiet - and the social activities in a community of less than 25 full-time residents and about 100 vacation homes is almost nonstop. Although many are liberals (being in Mexifornia), I think they'll still be hardy enough folk to handle what might happen. After all, they live in 5-10 feet of snow in a rather isolated area from Dec-May. If I didn't have that to fall back on, I'd be ready to pack and move (but where to - I don't know!)

That is the worst of it, I live 10 miles from town and in the middle of 3 acres, all lots are one acre or larger in this area.

And I wind up with California convicts, generations of them, across the street, and up the street, as there is an old mobile home park up there that allows them in.

I offered to shoot the one, that opened my door and got half his body in, as he came up the steps and I started screaming.

He said “Oh, I thought noone was here”.

After I locked the door, I told him through the window that I would shoot him and he couldn’t understand me, so I told him 3 times, guess he got the message, for him I never saw again.

Because I cannot go outdoors, they think the place is abandoned and steal me blind.
