"If I call 911, nobody will be here for AT LEAST 30 minutes for EMS, 45 for fire, and an hour for police.And that’s assuming they have nothing else to do and respond immediately.
If the house is on fire, you call the neighbors. In less than 10 there will be half dozen tractors with water tanks and hoses.
Lop your foot off? Call the neighbors. They’ll drive you to the ER.
Somebody means to do you harm? Shoot back or die waiting for the Sheriff. Your choice."

#16 I've done both of those for 50+ years in downtown (city centre) Ottawa and Toronto with never a single incident. Crime isn't as prevalent as people's fears.
#16 Okay, I didn't leave keys in the ignition but rarely locked it. Nothing to steal in the car and no broken windows. Nobody wants an older Mazda anyway.

Yvonne,
This. Most cities in western world (maybe except in America, don't know) are much safer than you would think.

lol crime isnt prevalent. that's called anecdotal evidence and you count what...the 30 mins you go for lunch and commute to work? i guess you forgot how honks are illegal now, leaf.

#15 My in-laws have a small farm with a well. They have an electric pump, but also have a hand-pump near the front door that, with minimal effort, draws up some of the best tasting water.
