Tonight is National Night Out. A time for neighbors to get together and show their solidarity in getting and keeping the criminal elements out of their neighborhoods. My wife and I are the Neighborhood Watch Coordinators for our area and we're putting on a big cookout. Lots of friends in attendance with visits from the local LEO's. IMO this is a good way to get to know your neighbors and establish those relationships that may come in handy in the event of a local SHTF situation, or even one that is more widespread.
