Get to know your community. I had occasion to meet someone I didn’t know before, and he is a great fella. The sad thing is, he has lived at the end of my road for a year. I never knew he was there. I can make all the excuses I like, but the fact is, I did a poor job of knowing who is living in my own rural community. I ended up helping him take down some old structures, and I came home with a gold mine in lumber. Tomorrow, I am going to help him get some stumps out. So, while being cautious is a good thing, knowing your community and being a part of it is a good thing as well. Keep that in mind.
