I am unhoused, and also a pedestrian. I have identified as being a highly sensitive person since I first discovered this term and it's defining characteristics four years ago.

In the town which I reside in, there is are so many loud engines from motorcycles and pickup trucks, and the fire trucks come through several times a day(side note: I question how many of them are actual emergencies, or just test/training runs). It is auditorily GRATING. It is like a metaphorical icepick being jammed in my ear 😖

Just venting. Thanks.

This will be my third summer unhoused, and second living in a tent with my significant other. I s ruggle HARD with intense heat. I truly Do not fear the harsh Maine winters in our tent; with our propane heater, insulation, bodily warmth... S'all good. But the heat,... I'm very concerned.

I want to purchase a BATTERY POWERED FAN. Probably D's, I imagine. Not rechargeable, because I have more faith in affording Dollar Tree batteries than I do in getting a full charge out here. My issue is I only am finding DESK FANS, but I need something strong. Something substantial.

So...any suggestions, recommendations, I will grateful accept. I can do online.

Okay, this is going to sound a bit odd.

I am not a paranoid person, nor do I typically delve into the realm of the supernatural. I am, however, very spiritual.

So, while listening to myPandora radio (and I've had my account sine 2009, longtime user), it often seems as if it knows my current situation, and related artists and songs. My current example, just now, I have a brief conversation with some people, and one of them is wearing a Kurt Cobain t-shirt. I put music on(my Pandora is set on shuffle with like 15 stations in it), and the first song is "Lithium" by Nirvana.

Silly coincidence? It seems so often that it plays music that is uncannily related to current situations and conversations. I imagine Pandora has access to my microphone? But I also believe deeply in "The Universe," and I wonder if it is connecting with me through the content of music that plays via the algorithm.

I am sure this will be taken with skepticism... But, anyone else have similar experiences, or thoughts on this? Thanks.
