Tonight, August 2, 2005, is the official night for National Night Out which will involve neighborhood parties all over the country where neighbors can get to know one another. And by learning who their neighbors are they can help keep their neighborhoods safe by being able to spot burglars and other criminals who might otherwise try to prey on their neighborhoods.
There was a time long ago when neighbors knew one another. They sat out on their front porches, and the kids played in the yards. Then came television and air conditioning. Who can blame them for not wanting to get out in the heat?
So if you aren't hosting a neighborhood party tonight, then go to one. With 83 people signed up locally to host a party it shouldn't be too hard to find one.
Party on, Garth! Party on, Wayne!
