I don't really know how to approach this or really where to post this subject.  There are people that I always try to keep up with because I'm interested in what they are doing or because they live in my part of the country.  I haven't seen Brian Rodgers or Deb Rebel post anything lately.   I hope it's not health problems.  I know Travis Johnson took time off to deal with his health but haven't seen any updates on him in a long time.  

Moderators:  If I'm out of line or prying too much into someone's personal life please delete this and inform me.

Dale is another one. I would have loved to see what he's up to, in Canada and the Philippines, both. Good, solid guy, there. I hope he drops in again some time.

As you mentioned, many of the issues are personal and private, so I can't speak to many here.  

But in general, life complicated, messy, and changing constantly.  Some people have changes in their family or location that mean a lot less time for the internet.  Sometimes interests change.  Sometimes health gets in the way.

We are grateful for the time they spend with us, but understand that sometimes you need to drift away.

As for Dale, I don't think I'm betraying confidence here.  He is my friend and I doubt we'll be seeing him back on permies.  

But, he tells me he wants to start a youtube channel.  I hope he does because he has so much to share with the world.

Su Ba, I was just thinking how I have not heard much from Su Ba recently!  I always enjoy your posts.

Aloha!  Yes, I’ve been occupied these past months, focusing on my community. People have needed help dealing with this COVID crisis. So blogging, permie.com surfing, and my homestead farm have been neglected. But things are starting to ease up around here, so I’ve been dropping into permies.com a bit more. I’ll probably start blogging again, updating people on how I’ll be resurrecting the farm. It’s been interesting seeing what could survive and actually keep producing during the period of neglect. Some things died, others did ok. ........... So you’ll be seeing me around again.

I remember a few months after I joined Permies, he had talked about doing this.

I'm glad he's exploring it again and hope he goes through with it this time around. :)
