People come by at night just to say hello and whenever anyone leaves town for a couple of days they bring by food that would have spoiled. It's a true blessing to have this community.

I try my very best to get to know my neighbors since I live in an apartment complex. Some are very thoughtful and friendly while others just don't want to be approached by me. That's how the world is, I guess. Pasadena is such a place truly rich in diversity and it would be even better if we all took time to get to know each others' similarities and differences. If more people like you thought that way, Pasadena would be perfect.

Over the months, I watched them make improvements...a nice new fence, pretty landscaping, the installation of a lamppost. But I never took the time to knock on the door and say hi. Last Sunday, my refrigerator stopped working...in desperation, I went over and asked if I could put some food in their fridge. So that's how I finally met Mandy, who was more than happy to take in my fridge contents and who offered me a beer. I'm trying not to kick myself too hard for not reaching out before.

Must get caught up there. Because, truly, if one can't spare the time to read a DYING man's journal, then I think one's priorities have become jumbled (a la workload). And what kind of blogging community member would I be if I didn't take the time to read words as precious as his are right now? Which, of course, is exactly what this post is about. Sounds to me like you wish Pasadena was a little more like the blogosphere, and I mean that sincerely. I wish Davis was, too. I’m so behind in reading Bill’s posts (as I am at reading several blogs).

I think your message in the post is such a beautiful, wonderful one. The world is full of such wonderful people, shear numbers and location makes it impossible for us to get to know the majority. But with so little effort we can get to know many more than we do now. Those right in our own neighborhoods. Really, it would take so little effort to get to know them. Sadly, and to our personal loss we so often don't have or don't take the time to get to know them. I love your dream for your city, I pray it comes about as you are hoping.
