I had much the same reactions, @tomatotomato - fascination and awareness of privilege for all I have easy access to.
I’ve an old friend who lives in a remote village north of the Arctic Circle: he’s talked before about the excitement in the community when a supply flight is coming in and how people gather for the offloading and distribution.
I don’t know that I have the capability to live so remote - I’ve become too accustomed to urban/suburban life. In my younger days, though, I did live in the High Country where it was a couple hour’s drive to get to real supermarkets and such. I don’t think I could do that now.
I made the mistake of reading some of the comments (I know, one should never read the comments, but I only remember that after I’ve started sigh). The lack of reading comprehension expressed by some, and the judgmental decrees from others, was discomforting. Humanity, eh?
