What is the meaning of your user name? Seems new age. Interesting...


Many years ago, that's what a woman called me, presumably because she thought I was made of stone. It was rather hurtful at the time, but that was before I knew about AS. But now that it no longer bothers me, no one calls me that any more ...

Good for you :)

I'm one of them and I'm certainly not sad. I am unshaven, however ...


What are the things most valued by a wanderer?


Excellent question!

Speaking only for myself, of course, my wants are very simple. I need only to fill up my water tanks every week or so, and a mobile internet signal. A decent grocery store nearby is also nice. More intangible things include quiet, remoteness, and scenery. Good hiking is also high on my list. And finally, a good bookstore.
