Small towns have taken such a beating the last 30 years, it's a cryin' shame. It's good to know you've got a secure situation and are making the best of things. I also hope Steemit will give you some added financial benefits, too!

I'm closing in on SS myself. Just turned 59 last month. Not sure what I'm going to do when I'm first eligible. It might be better if I can wait a year or two for the higher amount.
