Close to Home by John McPherson for August 20, 2009

Every notice that people talk more to one another electronically than in person? Talk to a stranger on an elevator and look comes across their face like I’ve invaded their territory or I am a mugger. I guess it is just safer to talk to people you know. That is another reason our kids our fat. Parents want to keep an eye on their children and keep them from going outside to play. How sad. Were there not goofy people when I was a kid? I can’t say I ever ran into anyone that wanted to hurt me unless it was a “big kid.”
