- I find that it is important to cultivate that within oneself - and if you can't find the nutrients to keep it growing strong - It'll wither and die - leaving you an unhappy/sad man or woman - bad health - old age - pain - loss of a friend/loved one/grief - sudden accident and a myriad of other negative things can easily trigger it -

So how can you find a way around it - to somehow keep looking 'on the bright side?'

Daffodils at the Cabin.
Looks like slobber.
The fly jumps into the air backwards when it flies. The trick is to grab for that spot instead of where the fly is.
In karate class, we also practiced snatching them out of the air, for hand eye coordination.

Back to reality and in spite of my previous comment, that is a nice part of New York. I grew up in Rochester and the further you get from the city, the nicer the people(and Rochestarians are generally nice city folk-or used to be). That is a bit south of the Finger Lakes. Great wine country. Great, fertile soil if you were thinking of growing any kind of cropmoving right along….
hell , maybe me and Swede will move to Lockwood NY..
this seems like a hella deal…
Beautiful Farmhouse with a Barn in Lockwood, New York
Check out this farmhouse in Lockwood, New York. It’s on sale for $55,000. The house has plenty of space with 2,596 sq ft and sits on 6 acres of land. Inside, there are five bedrooms and two bathroomarbanaosmani.com
. @Sun&Soil could probably give you more insight. He is still a western New Yorker I believe. Looks like he has some nice plantings in his yard. Western New York is nothing like ‘the city’ or ‘upstate’. Both of those areas are meh. I bet if you took a road trip in your RV to check it out, you would find nice, normal folk.

Try ‘the way of the deadly palm’. It is pretty satisfying though as my wife says, a bit twisted. When they land, slowly bring your open palm up behind them. Maybe 3” above and 3” behind them. When you move to grab the fly, wax on and whack off, grass-smoker. When you can snatch the fly from behind, it is time for you to leave fly guts on the wall.

I was tempted once. Thinking I had been taken on another snipe hunt (this had happened at age 11), I accepted that while I was probably being tricked -- I was not going to test the theory.

I visited Niagara Falls one May. The snow drifts were 4 feet high.
Well, hell... In the Olden Days, GI's useta have fly-fights. You get smacked in the gob with a big blue-belly, and you've become a combatant -- so you learned how to catch them.Don't remember. Done it for as long time. Just like Fogey said I throw them against the wall. BOINK
