I'm preparing my mind and my habits for the day when I will need to move into civilization. I'm nearly ready, but I'm sure my new neighbors will not be as receptive.
I can give up most of the habits of a hermit, except toileting outdoors. Some folks have the world in the palm of their hands; I see the world as a huge porcelain bowl. This is never more true than on a morning walk. Sometimes, without much warning, I must handle a deuce miles from home. If things go well and I am prepared, I have tissues, a hanky or some gloves with me.
Things don't always go well. I have come home without socks and once without a t-shirt.
I like writing in the snow more now than I did when I was a kid even though the pen is not what it used to be. It does serve as a health warning. If the ink is a little too yellow, I know I'm dehydrated and I look for water.
I promised Caring Kim I'd be normal before I live in town.
