I haven't done this in a while but I'm old so here I go, for those who have been on the forum for awhile it's "Here he goes again" for those new, just here goes.
Our World has changed in many ways, some for the better ....some not so much.
Many things we enjoy as Americans are truly just American, invented here and pretty much stayed just here.
The Diner, the Drive-In (Movie) and the Front Porch, the thing attached to homes usually located on a sleepy tree lined street just behind a mail box and a short picket fence with a gate (no lock).
The porch was invented for a reason a fabric grounded American tradition that was born of shared and common bonds that united us as a neigborhood, a culture and a Country.
We talked to each other, called each other by each others names and shared stories and updates with each other because we cared more about listening than anything else.
Our World has changed.
In some ways differently than we initially imagine and actually - not bad, not bad at all.
I have met many Friends and Neighbors that I would never have met if it were not for this "Front Porch"
Sunday evening and walked out onto its virtual planking to say hello and chat with friends and neighbors only now they are from all over the world and from all walks of life.
Thank you Rick, Rob, BF and my "neighbors".
I've even come to know a guy named Jay from New Zealand and a Friend from Kentucky and some in Ohio the list goes on and the neighborhood is large.
Still the same porch, the same Hi, How ya doin' what's new?
So, maybe all that is new has not been so bad and the next time I shake my head and start to say
"Damn these new fangled.....it wasn't like ths before....."
I might stop and pause and think about the Front Porch and just stop by and see what's new and what's up with everybody walking by.
Thanks again to Everybody and I hope you enjoy our Hobby, our Forum and our Front Porch as much as I do.
See you around and don't forget to stop and say - Hi.
