Ahh... those were the days. I often feel as if I should have been born many decades earlier. I think I might have been happier. On the other hand, I think I've manaed to isolate myself quite well from the woke crowd, media, politics and all other poisons, so overall I am fairly content.
Sometimes the world break through, but if I can only build my fortress of solitude, that is, find a plot good enough, that will be fixed!
