Interesting. I (male, 76) never carry my phone except in a shoulder bag. At home, it always lies somewhere (the watch finds it) or on a charger. Out in my rural property, I never carry it because it's steep, (a ridge), slick with tiny dried oak leaves, except in a backpack or camera bag when I am out snapping photos or clearing some trails I created through the brush (which likes to grow back)
The phone reported an uneven stride, which is interesting, because I never carry the phone and Apple said phone and not watch. I got some varicose veins recently, which receded. I know that affected my stride.
Congestion (allergies?) sometimes affects my balance, but I am steady as can be after the congestion goes away, a few days when it hits. Otherwise, it's just the disorder of the home that makes navigation tricky. I am working on that. Tired of stubbing my toes. I am single, so I report only to me, and I am too easy going on myself in this regard (until lately)
I don't know where men carry phones other than myself. I use the shoulder bag or don't carry it around. Women use back pockets, and why don't the phones break? I'm right now sitting with the phone in a front pants pocket and it's uncomfortable. Shirts and t-shirts often have no pockets and if they do, the phone falls out. (you know where).
Well, that's my two cents worth (before pennies are banned). I'm probably an outlier. A typical "walk" on the ridge here involves some climbing, and tests my stability. Few falls, and I always managed to land on the designated glutes.
I'd clear those tiny leaves from the better trails but that would be a monster chore and they'd be right back.
Home will be much more navigable as downsizing and organizing move forward.
Thanks! It's puzzling that being so far from friends seems to limit both visits (only one outside of family) and electronic communications that just drop.
It's 50 miles to populated cities, friends, stores, and the V.A.
Presence is everything,it seems. I make plans to move to "civilization" (suburbs, my all but 10 years habitat) and then a wild sunrise or sunset happens, with mountain backdrop or a double rainbow with same. But my daughter sent a photo froma Hawaii trip, reminding me that these happen daily "elsewhere".
Think outside the box. Who isn't risk-averse. Last move, we toured affordable places, and visited Paradise CA before here. Nearby Chico had too few listings. After I chose this place instead, Paradise burned to the ground.
An interesting part of suburbs is that there are few or no deer, and they eat rose bushes like candy. I used to grow many, but can't here without massive double fencing. I do miss them.
Looking forward to a less "frontier" lifestyle, and building momentum. It's still a world of people ... somewhere.
