I remember all that and more. Remember the neighbor and or block Welcome Wagon people. They would bring over dishes of food when you moved into the neighborhood, to renters as well as buyers. And when someone had a death in the family, again came the dishes of food and and offers to watch the kids (for free) while the adults were busy making arraingements and handling the people coming and going from the wake and the funeral visitations. We were never in fear some stranger would snatch us and do terrible things to us , because some one was always around watching us play and it was virtually unheard of. The world and life was not in constant kaos , and we didn't need prosac to try and live a normal life. Sure people drank, but had enough sense to take their butts to bed and sleep it off. Not look look for trouble anywhere they found it. Happy drunks!! Mean drunks slept it off at the jail, till they could find their happy face again!And most would walk to the jail for their bed time, without having to be dragged in for it. They knew who they were. Funny we alot like Mayberry back then. Today your scared to eat the food someone brings, and to let your sight of your child for even a second for fear your neighbor might not be, who they say they are. How did the world get this bad??
