The onslaught of new hikers and visitors will magically disappear.

To varying degrees, for sure, but still social at our core.aferdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12337873974986331959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-66239320425774904392021-02-18T20:18:03.522-08:002021-02-18T20:18:03.522-08:00I think some of this comes from the way we grew up...I think some of this comes from the way we grew up. Even before covid I could only stand being with people other than mg for an hour or two a week. I have a feeling that I will continue to isolate myself except for a few knitting companions after they call a halt to isolation. I like isolation. And I don’t catch colds or the flu.<br /><br />Btw, my surgery is next Thursday.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588431322157876639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-20900643016501456882021-02-18T14:20:52.279-08:002021-02-18T14:20:52.279-08:00Ken...

I think we all need inter-connections with other people.<br /><br />One change for sure that will remain in place is the idea of working at home. This will allow businesses to down size their offices and it will keep some, a few anyway, off of the roads. That will be a good thing!Sanoguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911933705954807512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-60625794094651680892021-02-18T12:03:52.810-08:002021-02-18T12:03:52.810-08:00Robert, I think you are the exception to the norma...Robert, I think you are the exception to the normal human desire to be with other people (except for the severely introverted - which you are not :-) ). Roy is right, this will all pass and people will be getting back together for family and friends social activities, concerts, class reunions, etc.Ken Sealshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04813240773920337414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-73637527621256314442021-02-18T10:17:55.216-08:002021-02-18T10:17:55.216-08:00I find myself agreeing with you.

I'm enjoying not having any particular schedule to follow, even though I'm retired and made my own schedule anyway, and inexplicably, finding myself wanting even more solitude to wander in.

It’s been a year, and it may be another year longer, but that’s a short blip in the scope of a human lifetime. It’s hard enough to keep profound transformations going, and I don’t think, with the exception of those who lost love ones, there’s been anything to profound about this, only inconvenient. <br /><br />For most of us, we forget about inconvenience before it’s ever even completed.<br /><br />Anyway, for what it’s worth…Roy Jhciacb Cohenhttp://www.thespokeandword.netnoreply@blogger.com
