Meet Your Neighbor
It could take less than five minutes. Here's a step-by-step guide:Get off of the couch.
Make sure you're dressed.
Open the door.
Walk next door (right or left - it doesn't matter).
Ring doorbell (or knock).
When door opens, introduce yourself and use customary greeting of the country in which you live.
Begin conversation.
Find common points of interest.
Use traditional conversational conclusion.
Walk back to your house.
Meeting your neighbor enhances the feel of community, deters crime, and heightens a sense of ownership. In other words, being a better neighbor makes for a better neighborhood.

The only time I see most of my neighbors is when there is a power outage. Suddenly, with no TV or internets, we all amble out to our porches.
But the power outages never last long and before we can get in the greetings and conversations, we are all back in our caves.
Maybe we can go around cutting wires in an effort to bring our communities together. It would be a kind of Robin Hood thing, crime with good intentions.

i like my new neighborhood. it feels that way and we are quickly meeting folks up and down the street. our dogs are slowly getting past the customary greeting of smelling butts.
