A real neighbor would have helped!

Yep, where are the good neighbors?

I love Oklahoma...yesterday we were trying to remove a tree that had fallen in our yard...got everything off the top, but had about 7' of stump to deal with! We were trying to pull it over with our pickup.

This guy driving by saw us and jumped out, took a reciprocating saw and sawed down deep around the root and that tree just popped out of the ground! Then he went home and got a chain saw and cut it into pieces for us!

I gave him a dozen fresh eggs for his trouble!

A complete stranger, just stopped to help. It's typical of Oklahoma, I've found.

I agree. When my husband was stationed away from home for three years, I had a lot of health problems and was unable to maintain our yard like I wanted to. We weren't in violation of any codes, but it just didn't look good. My neighbors, a couple in their 70's, helped me frequently. The wife helped me cut down a very large bush and helped me dig up the roots and she was 73 years old at the time.

"A real neighbor would have helped!"

Agreed!

This isn't simply "political" in nature.

In all honesty it is a sign of a real problem in America.

Most of us don't know our neighbors.

We may know their names... but we don't really know them.

How sad.
