That looks interesting! I have survived weeks off the land, with nothing, no tools -- only the clothes on my back. I'd head into the woods, hiking around, up & down mountains, just enjoying the natural phytochemical antidepressants the trees emit! Went in with no food, no guides, no compass -- just bopped around until bored, then popped out exactly where I wanted to, relativero my entry point (no trailblazing or marking my paths, either; just stubbornness & dead reckoning); Fun -- I miss this.

Good old z-lib. I like that project.

Me, too -- I'm completely sold on it -- get all my books via there now! All the ones my library couldn't locate within the free interlibrary network in BBC, I've found! Getting back into a couple series & knowing I wont be missing anything now.

There was a modest storm that blew passed this area last week.
The local repeater for one particular OTA TV channel went out
for a whole week. Initially, I missed hearing/watching the
evening news. But then it was rather nice to have peace and
quiet around the house. I didn't even bother with the news on
the radio. After a week, when the tv came back to life, it was
just doom and gloom and bad shit going on.

Negative As all get out -- boring & annoying, & when they're not being negative, & even when they are, so much blatant lying to us!

I'm a problem solver & a survivor. My armour & ammo
against the Grim Reaper, to date, has always been
knowledge(& good fortune when that ran out or didn't
apply), but I got to be ever vigilant in increasing it.

+1 Good attitude!

I discovered the two-step way to living forever: 1. Don't die.
2. Stubbornness.
