39. I have a good relationship with folks on the street

Saturday

Vendors, regular taxi men and utility workers and I never walk past a bus stop without saying good morning or good afternoon.
One day last year during our morning walk, my keys fell off the chain around my neck and someone literally strung them up on my fence. I still don’t know who saw them drop.
Being civilized is painless. It builds community.
