Is it just me?

On a related note - When we moved to the country, by Northern MD standards (LOL), it was mid-July. Although we are a few hundred feet off the road, you can see that I have a project or 2 in the works at any given time. When school started in the fall and my wife takes our son to the bus stop at the nearest assigned stop by the county, she and another woman naturally start talking. Turns out her husband owns a small garage/shop in the next town over, so she, being a good supporter of her husband's business, hands my wife his business card. My wife politely accepted it. The next day the other woman told her that she told her husband she did so and said he told her thanks, but to look at my driveway.....

Same type of story when I leveled out and started building the shed. One of our daughter's new friends a mile down the road - Her father is in construction. His wife offered his info to my wife in the event that we need anything done around the house. My wife once again politely acknowledged the offer.

All that was 3 and a half years ago. We still keep just enough communication going, in the event I do get in a serious jam....
