SAD..Seasonal affective disorder.. how do you northern guys deal with it?

Roger that! I spent quite a few years at sea and living aboard ship even when in port. Much of it aboard submarines. Also spent a great deal of time on patrol out in the boonies (infantry, priour enlistment). Miss being at sea. Miss being in the boonies. Have no need for crowds of noisy people and big city hustle and bustle and traffic. Grew up in the country and enjoy the quiet. Wife is younger than I. When she retires, we plan on moving to a quiet place up in the Texas hill country. Maybe a 30 minute drive to the nearest town.

Have been trying to understand this 'seasonal affective disorder' thing......

If it affects me, I am not aware of it. Since retiring some years ago, I have found that my natural instinct is to be up and active from sundown to sunup and sleep days. So unless I must do something during the day...... That's what I do.

And no...... I do not have a 'smart phone' nor do I have anything to do with 'social media'. I enjoy my quiet time and have no need to be a part of the Borg-like 'collective'. Cannot begin to imagine why anybody would feel a need to do so. But different strokes for different folks, I reckon. :)

Best regards to all,
