A man pulled his car over on the Trans Canada highway outside Abbotsford BC last week, and died.
No one found him until this week. He was 75 years old. Police ran his car through the computer, they say they looked in the car.
He had his dog with him. The dog is fine.

Bene,
We’ve had quite a few incidents here in Sydney this year already like that.

One post I wrote last month about that and there is a second, immediately after.
Since then, I think there have been three more awful discoveries, and remember it’s summer down here and HOT.
One comment from a neighbour was “They would think I was crazy if I knocked on their door.”
We are scared to investigate and too involved in our own lives often to notice whether we have seen the neighbour for a while.
I include myself here too. I see very little of my elderly neighbour, althugh I know her family checks regularly on her. I ring my mum twice a day and get someone else who lives close to check if she doesn’t answer iafter a few calls. I appreciate her neighbours who put her bin in for her, pick up the paper and put it on the porch etc.

A none compliant diabetic in a building I lived in used to ask for help with little tasks like changing lightbulbs.
I knew she was really sick, and those little tasks would turn into an hour of listening to a litney of complaints when all I wanted to do was beg her to follow medical advice and stop complaining. I knew she was friendless and lonely.
She died in her sleep a few hours after I’d fixed something in her apartment and I didn’t find out for days. I have to include myself in the sense of shame and neglect of others also.
