Betsy Fausnaugh: On being vigilant By Betsy Fausnaugh Having lived here for 12 years now and having come from off, perhaps I see differently than those born and raised here. But in response to being "vigilant", I think that we can no longer look the other way when things seem out of the ordinary. Are we looking closely enough at our surroundings that we see strangers moving into long abandoned homes and don't question, why now, where did they come from? Vehicles from several states, coming and going all the time. Terrorists or others up to no good, thrive on communities that go about their days and don't take a second look. Unfortunately, we do need to take off our rose colored glasses and see that it could be happening next door. I know I continually watch vehicles going past my home. Ones that I haven't seen before, but seem to be carousing the neighborhood, I take mental note of. Maybe being a wife of someone in the military has made me "too" informed of what goes on in todays world. But the old adage "better safe than sorry" plays through my mind. I however, am not sure who to call, or let know of my concerns. I don't want to be known as the woman who cries wolf. But sometimes my momma intuition is spot on! I know of a couple of places that I sense evil is lurking behind closed doors, but without proof, what can one do. I am not going to be a pistol packing momma in public, but would defend my home and family if it became necessary. Even in Adair county, we need to live with our eyes wide open! The times they are a changin'! --Betsy Fausnaugh Comments re article 79564 Be vigilant what does that mean to you Thank you for continuing the conversation about how Americans are to go about being vigilant. You make a good point about not knowing who we should call and that will be checked into with our first responders. --LW This story was posted on 2015-12-13 19:23:20
