Small town living is great! Growing up in a population of 200, I enjoyed much freedom to go and come as I pleased. Granted, it was a different time, but we could have it again if all would take precautions.

Support your local sheriff and all who are there to help keep the peace. Avoid large crowds and dangerous neighborhoods. Be aware of your surroundings when entering and exiting your vehicle. The bad people take advantage of the elderly, so check up on those who live alone. Help when you can to support local charities and stores who pay more for transportation of goods.

The payoff? Clean air and water for the most part. Close-knit community connections. Outdoor activities for those who can enjoy them. Kids need exercise!

Help the new administration by reporting crimes and standing with the laws already in place. We CAN do better than let lawlessness rule our nation! Make America safe again!
