I used to travel. I had a residence permit and lived and worked in Germany for years as a civilian before I was stationed in Berlin with the military. I used to sleep on night trains using my EuropaPass. Lived on Ibiza when they had only one disco and it was still out of the way. Now it's considered the ultimate "club" spot.
Now I'm afraid to go out of my yard. Especially when the brewbeast gets loose.
Jai, you're too kind. I might reach escape velocity in 2009 and leave Iowa for good. I still have hope. Just have a few loose ends and 16 tons of stuff to deal with first.
Upper New York State looks good with all those lakes. Met a guy on line from a town (can't pronounce: "Canadadaqua"?) Has a VA center so I would have free health care although I'm covered being army retired with tricare (not good). Not sick in the traditional sense, just the depression and anxiety.
This nice fellow from Canadquadadqa said this area was very new age and spiritual. Lots of history. I don't mind hippie, if it isn't too "mother earth news". (I lived in Eugene, Oregon, for two years and saw the earth news environmentalists up close - lived in a commune with a few)
They never do the dishes, won't do their chores, and protect fleas. Sure I generalize, but that's the only way my brain approximates "thinking".
Forgive me, I'm a little distracted. I've been messing around tonight with flaxseed, primrose, and omega-3 oil. I'm climbing the walls. I keep thinking I have to take this stuff "for my health", yet eventually I drink just to deal with the anxiety.
This runaway train, I call my body, is really hard to drive.
