35. Same here. I live in a place where

people travel for days to come and hike here so I make sure I do a lot outside. I'm a reclusive type anyway so I have never been one to go out shopping for entertainment. I know what I want/need when I go to a place, go right to it and back to check out, avoid big box joints. Of course I have to go quite a distance to go shopping so there's that. I don't like to buy a lot so I have few needs. I don't have teevee, though I have been livestreaming a lot due to politics.

I enjoy the company of the wildlife around here than to being with people. There's so much out there that could be gone soon, I don't intend to miss out on that.
