With much of the U.S. going into the 'deepfreeze'.....and the current hard times a lot of folks are seeing, It's a good idea to check on older folks, the sick, and the disabled in our communities.

We should make sure they have food and heat.
Folks on fixed incomes often face difficulty making ends meet toward the last of the month. Not enough money for medicine, heat, and food.

If we cannot help them ourselves, we should notify local authorities.

I'm with you my friend, the only thing Hillary ever said I agreed with, is the village thing, and we need to look after our own.

Called my In laws this morning to find out their furnace was down, fuel oil gelled up... keep in contact with the folks for sure! Father in law is 92 and was getting dressed to go outside himself... Called my brother in law who was on his way home from work and he got there before "dad" even got his shoes on...

It's very important to check all your neighbors, especially the old timers.

They can sometimes wait too long and then the cold can have an effect on thinking and they can't ask or become too confused.
