ON THE BACK BURNER

When I put out our recycles this morning, I discretely looked into my neighbors bin. Mine: orange juice containers,empty Kosher pickle bottles,canned tomato cans. Neighbors: beer cans, wine bottles,milk carton. They are having more fun then we are. I had to laugh. Our whole life style is so different. We are all nice people. We get along just fine. They care about us. They like Cricket. But , we are so different. They put out the American flag every chance they get. We love America but we don't have a flag. They cook on their grill. I have a grill but seldom use it. It's just not my thing. They keep their car really clean. I move mine out onto the driveway when it rains ,so it can get washed by the rain. We go to religious services, I have never known them to set foot in any place of worship. We are Jewish, they are whatever they are. So different, but we get along so well. How hard would it be for everyone to get along like this. Harder then I think, it seems.
