Musings on Frozen People.

Here in Michigan, one would think people freeze to death left and right. The Bay City man whose power was cut off and the poor guy encased in ice in an elevator shaft of an abandoned building...it got me thinking about my neighbors.

Sweet little Polish couple across the street--would I know if their power was off for a few days? Honestly, I don't think so. I come home from work, shut the blinds and go about my business. But the reason I don't worry about them much is because their sons visit on a daily basis. Who else lives alone on my block? Do they have relatives who check on them? Or, like the man in Bay City, do they live thousands of miles away?

I will pay more attention.
