No cf here.....odddly enough under the circumstances, I suppose. This
place is the closest thing to a cabin I've ever lived in. Nothing
else has ever come close to descending to that level.....except the
tool shed down in Gerogia.....which never came close to ascending to
that level.

Actually, there's really nothing odd about it. Cabin fever has little
to do with locale or accommodations, I believe. It's a matter of how
one spends one's time. If you LIKE spending time outdoors and you
DON'T do that for a significantly prolonged portion of the year, the
result is inevitable.

If you live in a major metropolitan area (as I did until very
recently), for instance, and get caught up in an urban lifestyle
(which is very easy, at least for some of us, to do) not only weather,
but entire seasons can easily develop into something that you have to
move through in order to get from one place, and/or activity, to
another. Let iit stop you and.....voila!.....cf.

Obviously, though, an urban environment and lifestyle are not
requisite. That was just an easy illustration. One can fall into the
same trap.....easily.....anywhere. All you have to do is limit your
activites that those require any particular set of climatological (or,
really, any other) conditions and, as stated above.....voila!

Out here, climate and weather are living giving, life sustaining, and
life altering, and, yes, sometimes life ending conditions that one
lives IN.....not THROUGH.

Well, that's not necessarily quite true. Lots of people get cabin
fever around here, too.

All of them have T.V.s

Some of them.....sometimes......do other things as well.....I
suppose.....in season. Maybe they should look into the possibility of
developing interests compatible with the world in which they live. Or
maybe they should find a world compatible with their interests. I
dunno.

All of which should be viewed as the kind of things your doctor says,
or should say, before he delivers the (in this case, anticlimactic)
diagnosis.....cabin fever.....and recommended treatment.....STAND UP!
CARRY THE GODDAMN TVs OUTSIDE AND ****IN' BURN! THEM.....NOW, GO *DO*
SOMETHING!!

(saw the reports of the I-95 corridor snowstorm... Bwahahahahaha!)

Now, Frank, let's be charitable. :)

giles
who freely confesses that he slows down considerable in 16 inches of
snow.....or freezing rain.....or tornados.....and whatnot all.
