In one of my sleepless hours overnight a couple of fond memories flash back occurred to me. When i was first marriage and we shopped, we received green stamps and would fill up books with them. Then there was dedicated stores that we could redeem them for a lot of stuff on display. And for some reason I remember the staff at most of the grocery stores that would all be dressed up in ties and white shirt and pants. Of course in the span of our current lives the years are just a blink of the eye. But since the WW11 era when the country began to modernize with automation and all the plastic throwaway stuff now, the traditions of community that we enjoyed when going to the grocery stores to even standing on the street corners and talking idle banter to our neighbors have all but gone.
Of course nothing stays the same but change. But the moral to this story is that rving and going to most rv campgrounds seems to have survived the extinction to some extent of the community relationships that I can remember myself. We gather around campfires in the evening after having pot luck meals over a table cloth fold up tables and actually chat about both mindless banter and current events.
