The sun sets ten feet from my porch.

A few people have asked over the years why I persist in staying where I am.

Well, aside from family obligations, the fact is I kinda like not being where the people are.

(you all have likely not noticed, but I'm not really a people person).

I enjoy the quiet, and the company of a few close friends, and find the frenetic hustle of the city irritating.


And of course there's also this to take into account.
