The Welcome wagon should come with booze.

Have you ever moved into a new neighborhood and all the local busybodies and old farts show up to greet you to the tribe? 
Moving in is stressful enough and all of a sudden the hordes from strange people are ascending upon your home in waves like some Biblical plague of locus. 
It is one of those "It looked good on paper" type things and they were only trying to show how kind and friendly the new neighborhood was.
I have a word to the wise if I am  moving  into your neighborhood  go ahead and drop by with a good bottle of scotch or wine..and you can tell me about all the really crazy whacked out people in the new neighborhood.  Maybe we can even solve the woes of the world.
