Has the current world climate changed your daily routine?

I live in the Last Best Place, as well as the least crazy region of the country.

I've got all my bases covered, and not doing anything different because of current events.

If things ever start to go south here I'll know that the rest of the country is gone.

Do you live in Idaho or Montana?
 
Nothing changed in my life, except I'm losing more money, I have to wait longer for my VA benefits and the mail, I have to wait longer to find out what flu shot to get, price of flying to Hawaii has gone 50% and the commissary is starting to charge for paper bags.......other than sh!t flowing down hill toward me, nothing I can't shovel out.
 
I never had a problem with flying. I actually enjoyed it at one time. Now, between the azzhole snowflakes and jack offs, understaffed and WW2 airtraffic control technology, short staff air traffic control, near misses, increased likelihood of collisions, shoddy maintenance of planes, and all around hassle of airport security thanks to the goat humpers, I would sooner wear porkchop underwear while kicking a lion in the nuts before I would fly again. And don't get me started on the jacked up airfare and charging for baggage. I will drive where we need to go.

Don't hold back. Just let it out. lol
 
Short answer, no.

Loooooooong answer;

Our biggest change was moving out of town and we didn't do that, that wasn't our accomplishment.

The apartments that we lived in were five buildings with 18 units each. I'm going to guesstimate an average of three people per unit.

Bearing in mind that in a couple of the two bedroom apartments (725 feet each) there were six people living there.
The lady that lived at the end of the hall from us it was her two kids, one of her kids had a kid and then they had a rotation of about eight people that would come and go from that apartment and sometimes stay all night.

There was one family that lived on the first floor it was a woman and her 13-year-old son who was like 6 ft tall and weighed about 200 lb and wore a dress all the time. And then they would rent their apartment out as a Flop House to all their homeless buddies to make rent.

Last story, there was one apartment in the building next to us where the lady moved in and she was gone within a couple of weeks. She paid first last and security so they couldn't they couldn't even start eviction proceedings for 45 days. Her apartment became a shooting gallery. I would come home from work and there be like 4 or 5 people nodding on the stairwell outside of her apartment. I found needles and bags all over the parking lot. And all management would say was that they couldn't do anything about it and they had to go to the process.

So one day the manager was interviewing potential renters in the office and I walked into the office and said hey just to let you know there's a couple of junkies nodding on the front stairway in the 300 building. That interview with the potential renters ended pretty quickly after that. And she had the nerve to be pissed off at me.

So, 270 people in a two block radius. That's a quarter of the population of the nearest town to where we live.

I estimate that there were 54 people living in the building that we lived in. There are not 54 people living within a mile of my house right now.

When we lived in the apartment I said very frequently that our fate was tied to the dumbest person in the building. We had a neighbor who routinely fell asleep smoking. I can think of at least two times people had put out fires in her apartment. I thank God she finally quit smoking but her stupidity could have rendered 54 people homeless.

I've talked about this before I don't know for sure that what I'm about to say is true but I suspect that my wife and I were the only people in our building that actually cooked food in our kitchen.

I remember coming home from work in the morning and 9 units on the second floor seven of them had doordash deliveries in front of their doors. I had neighbors who got doordash three times a day.

This is hypothetical but when the supply chain issues hit and my neighbors don't have groceries and we do, how do you think that might play out?

We lived in those apartments for 13 years. During that time I got caught in the middle of four shootings. I had two guys try to rob me. One guy threatened to beat my *** and take my gun. I had numerous encounters with homeless people in the hallway outside my apartment in the stairs and in the laundry room and in the parking lot.

And that's to say nothing of having to deal with her neighbors second hand tobacco and weed smoke

So I said all that blah blah to say that just moving here changed our lives entirely.

Everything I said above was kind of background. I'm sorry I couldn't make it shorter than I did.

We don't leave the property unless we have to and we certainly go don't go to town unless it is required. We get gas approximately once a month and that has been a huge burden taken off of our budget.
