We're all home, of course, dodging all those happy, peppy people incinerating food in their back yards.

I'm such a loner that this is my first post here, although I read the Loners Group all the time. I'm at home. Where else would I be? I did have a glass of wine and take the garbage out, picking up loose trash, enduring the casual chatter of my neighbors.

Actually I spend a great deal of time in the BOG and Pets plus a few others. But much as I like the people here, they can be kinda hard to find.

Today the weather was good and I got outdoors a lot to work and play with the dogs, but haven't spoken directly with another live person all day. Which is okay, because most of them make my hair hurt. Basically I love people, even in real life - I just prefer my own company in real time most of the time, although I now have one nice friend on the other block. It's very convenient, too; she's getting to where she can't drive and I decided long ago not to maintain a car. Luckily we get along quite well. But even so close, we can go a couple weeks w/o speaking.

Of course a lot of 'normals' don't understand, and my post here could easily sound antisocial or egotistical. Don't mean it that way. Not at all. But although it's sad to say, most of the locals have no idea how boring they are, partly because any other progressives who might be out there keep hunkered down for safety. If you lived here, you'd know what I mean.
