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.
