For those that don't have a job....

I hope it will tide you over for a long time.

I wish you could take trips to National Parks. You're probably not that far from Mount Rainier National Park, or Klamath Falls.

Do you have a car? I assume you do, since you live in somewhat of an isolated place.

I bet you're a good mechanic, too.

"a good mechanic"?! would that I could be such. but I have no mechanical genes whatsoever. I do have a car, it is just that in my old age I no longer have the energy to drive for 4+ hours without many breaks. it would be lots easier if only I could get a copilot but those seem out of my reach.

...I have traveled , even the most " obvious " stuff , so veryveryvery little in my life , too - Even for something near to me - I was reminded that I've never seen Hearst Castle , frixample (It was in the news for it being evacuated & proactively protected because of that still-up?? latest big fire here in inland CA...)...
Hey , KK (Oooh , I'm a poet...) - did you ever live in Anthony Weiner's House district ? When he was in the House , not the doghouse (Move it on over ! !! !! !! !! - I gotta get my portable in , Rover ! !! !!) .

The way you're talking....it sounds like you're within five years or so of getting Social Security.

I'll have to come visit you sometime. Then we can drive to these places. I still can drive for hours with only urine breaks.

Nope....never lived in the 9th Congressional District.

I don't know when....but I will keep it on the back burner.

For some reason, I sense that you sleep on a hammock LOL

That your house is like Doc's in "Back to the Future."

...Thank you . I presume I can still drive , I don't think I have since leaving the East Coast in '97 .
I presume a little legal tussle that would have made me unable to get a liscence again (My retro-graffiti revival in SC in '15 that got me " porridge " , as our Brit cousins put it , for a week and a half) is over ~ I was going to revive that old thread anyway , we'll see ! !! !! !! could let me drive again , if not --- next June ???
I do recall driving " with the radio on " , as Jonathan Richman put it ~ in the 80s , I recall having the old 66 WNBC on and , on another oldies weekend , a Honey Cone record came on and I drove back on to the highway some more to drive to it...Sigh ~ this was before I could say about myself , quoting Jason and the Scorchers , " (Pray For Me Mama) I'm A Gypsy Now " with " normal all-American Americana " , bud , more or less forever?? out of my grasp , the demionde/bohemia my only?? place now...
Speaking of Weiner and what (besides his own actions , of course) brought him to his latest headline , The New York Post...My parents both worked in newspapers . Obviously(??) I never did , and any charmingly retro second revival of the IWW/Depression-era HOBO NEWS I suppose that I never will but I get sort of " inside baseball " about it nonetheless...
Okay , though this is mostly a long intro to My Main Point here I'll put this up , to increase the chances of a reply before my computer time (No computer of my/my household's own , remember . Not , practically , EVER in my life ) runs out .

...Remember the " What's black and white and read all over ? A newspaper ! " joke , kK ?
Well (Leaving out the " NOBODY modern reads an ~ UGH ! ~ paper newspaper nowadys , Dadd-i-o " part for now, 'kay ???) , of course , front page of Any Size , Anyhow noosepeppas (Krazy Kat (attempted) talk) have of course been all-in-color-for for routine news days a while now ~ Years back , my father would say " the New York newspapers will be the last to go color cuz' they have such strong unions " - Well , they eventually did IIRC the I presume scheduled change happening at the News and the Post just , like , two weeks after Lady Diana's death IIRC the News's first color frontpage was a colour pic of her brother in his garden...The Times had gotten their color-adding process fully in motion two weeksish? before...This was during a 90s period when - Uh , I was HL then , too , but mebbe had a little more money then and sometimes?? a car and occasionally stayed indoors at these no doubt gone?? " old New York " sort of crappy bum/cheepo hotels (Sometimes even in better ones also - Including the Chelsea Hotel , all of one night ~ Woo hoo ! ) .
Anyway , growing up in Westchester , the NYC papers were present but pretty much always only in the earlies editions ~ Well , resident in Mad-Hatten (I like silly old cliche phrases , as you may have noticed??) then I got to experience what it was like when newspapers , specifically the News and Post , issued multiple editions (I think the Post had just switched to a morning newspaper schedule , too , directly thus competing with the News .) --- Even knowing that later editions often had just a couple different pages I'd sometimes buy them anyhow , moved by a good front page (I don't know that you were enough of a comics fan - I think not - to dig those comic fan terms like " Silver Age " , so...) - At least I got to experience that . I felt a little cheated , in SF for the height of MonicaGate , that I missed seeing what headlines those papers got out of those ones ! ...

I read newspapers daily, so I guess that means i'm a different kinda "nobody."

SSDI, and especially SSI, pay peanuts.
