Feynman couldn't have survived without female attention, and would have made sure there were women in a place to get to know before deciding to move far away...

i see. where did you went to
A very secure gated community in another state (but forgive me if I don't divulge the exact location).

and what you did?
Well, I was retired, and I sense that I'm at a much later stage of life than yourself.

Nevertheless, it's been both sad (leaving many years of my life behind), but also a relief (leaving many years of my life behind).

What really matters is what one can take away when one leaves a situation. Afaict, one can only take knowledge and $$$'s (assuming one has acquired some of the former, and/or made some of the latter). This, then, can be a guide for what to do next: what can one learn and what can one earn? :oldbiggrin:

I always think of living in the U.S. I'm sick of where I am living now.

I have a huge escapist streak.

Have dreamed of "Grand Duchy of Fenwick" since 1959 when i saw movie "The Mouse that Roared".

Moving to the woods where no one knows you? No problem. Okay, first let's learn how to make charcoal: (That guy looks so young, but his knowledge is quite admirable if you ask me. :bugeye:)



And then how to make a hut: :hammer:


:thumbup: Or reverse the order, I don't know. But learn both.
