Opus 2016-182: On the Street: No Thanks

Maybe it is time to start sitting on the back porch. 

I used to like the idea of sitting on the front porch watching people go by.  I had not done it much in real life.  My wife’s grandfather had one of those houses on a busy street that had a huge covered porch out front.  I had a few chances on vacation to sit out front and watch the world go by.  I enjoyed it at the time.

Not any more.  With all the violence and vulgarity the front porch has become a place to avoid.  There are not very many people walking by in my back yard, at least not yet, but it is a lot safer.  At my sons house it doesn’t matter if you pick front or back all you see are trees.  I don’t have much of the way in a front porch anyway.
