Shifting too far in 3rd gear....?

I live just a couple of Provinces over to the West. When you're ready to "retire", you might like it out here. Lots of room for your friends,reasonably cheap living, clean air, not much politics goin' on, and you'll have time to get to know your maker.
As to Covid, my thoughts were splashed on FABO back in about March. It seems to be around and sometimes close by. By it don't come near me, and I have not changed my life one bit for it. Let it come, and may the strongest prevail; my God has cured me from far worse than covid.
I thought if you were closer, I could come over and meet your crew. But Montreal might as well be Australia for me; it's a heckuva drive,lol.
A lifetime ago, I read about Montreal, in History class. Me and History-class were not friends.
I think I mighta gone thru something like you are, when I was your age,(actually, I was 54), and the truth is, that the funk, at 67 now, hasn't yet totally left me. I seem to remember us having a bit of "friend-time" a while back, but my "gold" ran out, so I'm down to 15 conversations , and about 14 are ongoing...... so, I have to delete the inactive ones.
Me and the outdoors are not real friendly either; I'm a bookworm. I study my KJV and the Biblically endorsed books, to see where is I'm headed, where my ancestors screwed up, and what it is I'm supposed to be doing here, during my sojourn, here on this Earth. If you wanna talk more, lemmee know, and I'll clear some space in my inbox.
BTW
We're all dumb, mostly. I just happen to know a good bit about the A833. And a bit about the KJV. But if I ever thought I was smart, FABO has really humbled me. There are a whole bunch of smarter than me people there, mostly pretty friendly, if cantankerous,lol.
I got two dogs, and not looking for more. I only got the first dog 4 years ago, for my wife, after refusing her for 40 years. I honestly thought dogs were just obnoxious brutes. Boy was I in for a surprise. Anyway, as you know, they are like lil kids, everyone with his/her own personality, with wants and needs, and with moods. And they are way smarter than I could have ever imagined. And so, I had to learn their language.
But you!, you have 80 or more! all the same type! That's gotta take some real dedication. and some real smarts. Nothing dumb about that.
