I want to share some observations. Y'all know I live in Georgia, for many it would be labeled "red neck" country as would most of the south.
Thursday and Friday we made our trip to Concord, NC and back. We made several stops along the way and interacted with many folks of various races, colors and creeds. Never once were any of the interactions unfriendly. We held doors for each other, exchanged greetings with each other, had short conversations, etc.
I am quite tired of being labeled and divided when that is just not happening here. Are there some idiots, certainly and there will always be.
Last night we went to see "Devotion" a great movie about a black Naval aviator in the early fifties. There were a fair number of folks in the theater with us. Among them was an older gentleman, who I'm guessing served in some branch of the military. He was with family members and they kept a close watch on him as he seemed a bit unsteady at times. Barbara uses a walker nearly all the time now. We sat in a low row as there was not room in the row we usually sit in. When the movie was over, I got Barbara;s walker and she headed down the ramp to the door. This gentleman and his family were near her and this man worked to get to the door and hold it for Barbara. People will hold the door for us all the time, including younger folks but this was quite special.
