He's very shy but been making progress. been leaving food out twice a day for him and a few others. he used to run on sight, but with a lot of treats I finally got to pet him yesterday. I'm hoping to get him into the house before the snow hits us.

    I do have an extra couch but you're gonna have to share it with a bunch of cats.

    I'll pay you $400 per month for the couch and the cats. Where is this? Midwest?

    Hehehe I'm just kidding with you. I am quite happy living in the wilderness like a yeti.

    Canada. The prairies to be more precise, about 17 miles as the crow flies from the middle of nowhere lol

    Cons: hostile winters that can get below -40, fuck all out here.

    Plus: lots of cats and very quiet. It's so peaceful to sit outside in the evenings, smoke a joint, and listen to the coyotes sing off in the distance.

    Ok I was just kidding but that sounds like pure bliss honestly.

    I'm very outdoorsy. Sweden is beautiful all times of year, and I backpack through the forests and... I feel free there. Like something genetic is awoken in me.

    Canada is a lot alike to us. Each unique in its own distinct way, but... You know, same same but different.

    I am hoping to go up North this winter, to see the Aurora. But I'm not sure I got quite the right gear for it.

    Heh. Thanks for teasing my mind.

    If only...

    Maybe one day I will find peace.

    We don't get really nice ones too often but auroras can be gorgeous, especially when they dance. Sometimes they're pretty basic tho. I was born in the city but moved out here years ago for the peace and quiet with my kids.

    I have some spare room and warmth, but I'm not sure I want any more anarchy than a 7yo creates in my house.

    I am old school anarchist. More idealist and Wu Wei, there is this quote I love, it's from a Norwegian show, and it's about the friendship of a like 14 yo girl growing up, and a "fallen pastor".

    Anyway, she says to him something like, "I don't care that I can't, I want that thing!" or something along those lines, and he goes

    "The older I get the less I focus on what I want, and more on what is possible."

    It really stuck with me, and it is something I have come to learn to appreciate over the years. Don't focus so much on the particulars, it's the big picture that matters.

    I live in Sweden. If I ever come to wherever you live, I will gladly share your room and warmth and play games with your 7 yo son, but for now I will survive on my own wherever I am.
