Unexpected Strangers:

 Our community is a gated community so when a stranger showed up at a friends house she called the sheriff. The sheriff came and searched him and then arrested him and took him to jail. Our friend did the right thing but I recall a time not so long ago when a co-worker in our home office used to take his vacations out here. He would start at the New Mexico border and hike the top of the mountains as far as time would allow. He would talk about doing this hike all year long and he relied on the fact that such a hike was safe and if he got in any difficulty he could hike down the mountain for help. 

Now no one trusts each other and for good reason. People can't tell the dopers or criminals from the honest people like Herm. It would not be safe for my co-worker to hike the mountains now unless he was with a group. He wouldn't know when he needed help if he walked up to a door whether he would be shot or not. 

There used to be a basic trust between people but now days with the criminals and low life you can't tell the good people from those who wish to do you harm or steal. Our friend called the sheriff who came and searched the person and then arrested him and took him off to jail. Even out here in the remote area we live in you just can't afford to trust people and I for one find that very sad. Times have really changed from when we could trust each other.
