A store is 2-3 miles away?? It sounds like you're in the boonies! I'm more of a hermit myself, but I couldn't stand not being able to step out whenever I wanted to. Being without a car... shudders... not kidding. And only you can judge if you really spend too much time here on PC, but I would miss your insight and support if you had to cut back.
Night is the worst, but morning is overrated. Night always comes back. I am your opposition to your positive outlook. I can always see the negative in every situation.
Your comment about getting arrested is very provocative. I know something of your history, but I don't remember any brushes with the law! Maybe I'll have to take a look... that was a very provocative comment. I think I have a vicarious curiosity about it.
