I'd like to visit... but I could NEVER EVER live in a place where it's so cloudy all the time, I'd be suicidally depressed constantly. I love rain here in the summer: 15 mins of sound and fury, 5-10 mins of flooding downpour, then bang, it's outta here, sun's back out. Winter rain here depresses me terribly; it can't just rain and get it over with, it has to hang around for a fucking week! GRRRRRRRRR!
Not sure I would note much difference in attitude then. I stay there most of the time, or bleakly confused. Suicide for me is no option. I got a contract/s with a few different folks which as such forbid it of me. One is quite a contract too. Have no doubt a host of spirits would rise from their rest bringing me back, then beating me near dead again. Besides, I'm no coward, end of suicide discussion.
The land over there is hills. We got hills here in WV, VA. Grew up in these hills. Quite literally spent a week alone naked in them once. Was not naked but two days. Began trapping & learning to thrive even if I was not comfortable. Now granted, I've got old and soft. Knowledge has faded a bit sure, but it comes back like riding a bicycle. I'm aware of having become aged, softer and know to accommodate.
An old dog is always an old dog.
We don't mind the rain so much. The chill does us no good but there's way to combat that. So, yes do think even with rains, damp, chill, I'd not mind Scotland so. Of course, I'm the lot what squat down in a Cambodian vegetable market, becoming fully native in seconds, or wanders the streets of Tokyo, Paris and becomes part of the background.
There are places I won't go. These are few and hold good reason to not go. Most places I can live. Some of these few, it's difficult for any to live. This is what I mean when I ask folks to not hold me living in the U.S. against me. I
only live here. I could feasibly live most anywhere though. I'm not one of the
leaders, policy makers, planners. I'm only a humble peasant, a doer, one who lives and keeps living.
ETA ( Clarifying ): I've not taken any real special training or such. I got some basic stuff from an uncle and grandfather, a guy who was 75th Airborn. I have just grown up around that kernel & learned to live, survive. Not saying I'm any Rambo or such either, just a guy that knows enough to do whats needed. I know there's probably many here what could out-survive me. That's fine. Not bragging, not trying to overstate either. Just know I can find a spot most places, good to go for myself. As I say, just a humble fool that muddles on, day by day.
