George's post below got me to thinking about how empty many places are during the day. I worry about how us older folks are going to get along with the rural areas emptying out of people in many places. In some smaller towns in the Plains there are only old people left anytime of the day. Here many of the small towns only have many younger people at night after they come home from work/school.
Have family in Ohio that are only 50 miles from Cinn. They talk about not having enough local people during the day to run the life squad calls in many of the smaller towns. Fire department would be the same.
Had a forty-five year old have a heart attack during the day. The youngest member of the life squad that responded was 65 and the driver was 78.
The community support that we are used too is not available in many areas now.
There are getting to be fewer jobs in the USA. It seems to be hitting the rural areas harder than the urban areas. So with more and more towns an villages becoming just bedroom communities there just are not many people around in the day time.
Also the trend of both the man and woman working is adding to the empty house issue too. My Mother did not work outside of the home until she was in her 50s. While us kids where smaller she helped care for several older relatives. She would check on them during the day. She provided care and support in person a few times each week for them. That is not possible in most households today.
I have no answers for the problem/issue but just wanted to see if this is a trend across the country or just here in the mid west and west.
