Different Responsibilities
I had to do something last night that I realized would be pretty foreign to many urban dwellers. We were almost home from our reconciliation service last night when we came upon a truck parked in the road, with its three passengers out walking around. I pulled up behind it and the apparent driver came back. He was pretty bummed out as he had just hit a little buck which was still lying wounded in the road. The guy was mad at himself, since he had removed his knife from the pickup and couldn't put the animal out of his misery. I drove up to the house and got my Winchester and put the deer down. We threw him in the hedgerow and that was that. The guy was so apologetic about not having the proper tool at hand... I guess maybe thats a rural thing as well. In rural areas you really do have a responsibility to stop when somebodies in trouble, which explains in part why so many folks have a pistol tucked in the glove box, it takes away one excuse for not being helpful.
Anyway, here's the question, "What kind of responsibilities do you have where you live that others may not expect?"
