When I read this article I was taking a one week holiday with my family and some friends at a country house outside Buenos Aires. The house was a beautiful, magazine-like house. Plenty of space inside, comfy couch, etc. I remembered how different houses built 50 years ago were. Smaller inside, less light, not as comfortable.Is Staying In Staying Safe?

When I read this article I was taking a one week holiday with my family and some friends at a country house outside Buenos Aires. The house was a beautiful, magazine-like house. Plenty of space inside, comfy couch, etc. I remembered how different houses built 50 years ago were. Smaller inside, less light, not as comfortable.
That got me thinking: houses used to be for eating, sleeping, and play Monopoly after dinner, and live outside during the day. These beautiful houses nowadays are so nice inside that instead of going out we stay in and look at pictures of trees on Instagram.
Not related, but got me thinking.
That's awesome, it's been a while since I've done something like that. I used to vacation in my father's sailboat, which is more or less as comfortable as a camper. Not much to do inside, no internet, no tv and no phone (at that time). I had the best times of my life there.Hi Oscar. I am spending 11 weeks in my 16 foot long camper with my wife. The small space is comfortable but it does encourage me to get out much more.
I go out and walk several times a day just for the activity. I'm not and have not, been sitting around in my house losing my mind. I get plenty of exercise with plenty of vitamin D from the sun. I wear a mask when needed and around people. My wife has left our house less than a dozen times since March and has been glued to CNN like it's the only channel. I couldn't pay her to go for a walk around the area. I believe that there is a real threat, I'm just not going to let it own me, this is where MSM here in the states has people losing it.
Same here in SE Virginia, it’s not all that bad. 1/3 of our population is military and they are required to were a mask while out, which has helped keep things in check for the most part.I think its a regional thing. As mentioned, where I am things are almost "normal" with exception of masks. My kids are right now at music lessons, in person. Just about everything is hanging tough, no movie theaters...
