I enjoyed the walkability of Bethlehem, PA just this weekend! But I don't know where non-students actually live.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
If my mother just sent me an email saying that she just found out that one of a work friend's two daughters has breast cancer and that she isn't sure which, but she guess it's the one "who, like you, does not have the protection offered by child bearing", am I allowed to tell her to STFU?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
the Northeast) suburbs are different than those in a lot of the country. They were always sort of self-sustaining towns and small cities.
The difference is pre-war and post-war. After WWII, suburbs were designed with the notion that you would need a car to live there. Sprawl started earlier in the East, but the suburbs that arose had central downtowns around commuter rail stations.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Possibly with an essay on why trying to be nice instead of being legal is really dangerous
Seriously, why do people think it's okay to sit at a stop sign until they feel motivated? Or stop when they don't even have a sign and wave people through? *I* get to be the irritated one there.

I, too, want to go to bed, but I suspect it is because of the VDay dinner we just had (I refuse to go out on Vday and get gouged) and because of the cold, dank weather.
I had somekind of martini with spiced pear vodka, absinthe, a fancy sounding pear cognac and cranberry and lemon, which was interesting.
Fried tortones with chimichurri, pork belly, soft like beurre, chicken thighs roasted with chorizo and stuffed with fig, chickpea frites, duck gizzards and a apple-walnut crostini with homemade cinnamon ice cream and GOOD decaf with Bailey's to finish.
And they have happy hour, and all of our faves are half off, from 11 am to 6, so this fab repast was $60 with tip. GENIUS.
I am in my robe now. Must. Stay. Awake.

Sort of relatedly, I was crossing a big street the other day, and a car stopped at their green light and waved me across. Which would have been fine, if there hadn't been two other lanes of traffic with cars coming at me! I just kept waving back and not walking. Eventually the light changed.
