And I feel bad for all those people out there in this stinkin' climate living rough, too.<br />See, I look back and realize the same thing you did - it was scary in a way that I only appreciate looking back, living that far out in the middle of nowhere, with limited access, always needing to have emergency supplies on hand because the electricity WOULD absolutely go out multiple times each winter, the pipes WOULD freeze, we WOULD get cut off by local flooding, there WERE bears (not the good kind) roaming through town in March, huge pieces of barn WOULD come careening past my house whenever there was a Northeaster...none of which I will miss AT ALL!Steve.

We too moved back to the City, back to Da Hood, for similar reasons. Yes, the Tweakers, Crackheads and Fentanyl Zombies are a modern day scourge across the Land, the Homeless are everywhere and crime is becoming scary, but as a Senior, we realized that being in the Boonies was just more dangerous in a different kind of way that scared me much more actually. Rural Living was not for me, I felt like I was living in an Episode of Green Acres, only in a McManse with a pretentious community I had nothing in common with. I Hope you find your Bliss, it sounds like you're well on your way to appreciating the next Chapter of Life.Bohemianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743017084098726581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257946950022707026.post-59075924081740260292021-11-24T14:33:15.066-08:002021-11-24T14:33:15.066-08:00Ms Scarlet: Thanks for the good luck - I'll t...Ms Scarlet: Thanks for the good luck - I'll take all the good luck we can get because daaaaamn. That said, it'll be a longass time before you need to worry about 55 and over lodgings, buttercup. I said that, that's the way it is, do not disillusion me, I see all and know all, you're just a blithe youth in the first bloom of life. Done.Steve.

I'm pleased to read that this awful event brought you a glimpse of better times. <br />I'm wondering what to do for the future - whether to stay in the back of beyond or to move closer to services that I'll probably need. I guess something will happen that will prise me out of here.<br />SxMs Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449626572478125088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257946950022707026.post-15881689342374108242021-11-23T05:18:17.404-08:002021-11-23T05:18:17.404-08:00Excellent plan for the future and one I also wish ...Excellent plan for the future and one I also wish to put in place, but the stubborn husband isn't ready. So we'll continue to maintain this monolith of a house until someone falls off a ladder or a shit show of a disaster strikes. Good for you and apart from what you've had to endure, I'm a bit jealous.
