I was thinking exactly the same thing when I read it. Being a native of the state, I have just such discussions with neighbors from time to time. We disagree but don't insult each other's intelligence. Then we agree that we disagree and keep on helping each other out when needed.Glad that this story had a happy ending - of sorts.
Your neighbor's behavior is so 'Texas' IMO - Your directness may have given him food for thought. He sounds rather curmudgeonly - but still someone who cares about people and about his neighbor. I'm glad that you posted this -
Just because I don't agree with someone's politics or religion doesn't make them a bad person, it just means that's one area we don't have in common. So what?
