I remember the time some years back when I was without a road car. For four 
months I did not leave the hollow. It was delicious. I felt serene, total 
contentment. A luxury.

In fairness I must report that my neighbor friends insisted on calling me 
before they went to town, inquiring of what they could pick up for me. Very 
few things needed, mostly just dog food.
