Despite the influx of the meth heads and transients to our little town I am pretty damn lucky. How many people can say that their UPS man is the husband to the owner of the Local Steak House whose daughters serve me on my respite day out a good grilled steak, I don't cook beef at home I don't like my cooking anymore, unfortunetly the downside is there Gramma/mother in law died in the ICUnit adjacent to KV's unit but it brought us all even more together after that happened.

We are very fortunate to have small family businesses established in our community, everyone is intertwined.

If my plummer has a non plumming problem he calls someone else in the circle who can be trusted.

I guess that is where I choose to spend my money, I don't wear expensive jewelry or do the nails ect.

The other day the plummer came by to fix the guts of a toilet being on a well I can't waste water, we had the machines going and didn't hear him he got worried yelling through the bedroom door with no response, so he went around to the back door of the bedroom to make sure we were ok.

Guinuinly a good guy always waves in town and my son dated his daughter once way back in high school.

I understand why consumers like big box stores. I shop at them, too. But I prefer to use the local folks whenever I can. Though it's getting harder to do. You're right about that circle of trust. And our plumber is worth his weight in gold. And thanks to Algore, his business is overflowing :)
