Looks like it'd be easy to find a place here to live:

the hiking and scenery in the area are 😍😍😍😍😍😍
@raspberrypanda retirement? But they want young people. 😝
@raspberrypanda the 90 year old from the article looks only in his 70s 😱
Might help with my anti-aging regime. 🤣 🤣
Maybe I could turn the clock back a couple of decades.
@raspberrypanda
I'm sure just wandering the hills near by would be a great destresser. 😍
Forest bathing for the win.

@Kurtroedeger @raspberrypanda
This is why he is 90 years young:
“Because of the farmer's spirit, we don't retire," he says. "That spirit, that we work until we die, has been planted in us for generations."
It was the spirit of my farmer grandparents, grandma lived to be 103 and tended to the farm well into her 90’s.
Use it or lose it.
Stay active, physically & mentally. Probably have a community around them too.
All the good things we hoomans need to thrive.
@CherNohio @Kurtroedeger @raspberrypanda I'm familiar with that spirit. I've watched it leave a lot of people broken wrecks that had no time to do anything but work.
@Kurtroedeger
And still close enough to a city for occasional trips. Total immersion on the language front too. 😂
