Sounds delicious, Erin!

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.

Hahah! That's SO Seattle. Every time I try to jaywalk here, if there's, say, one car coming one direction and no one the other, I"ll start across the street figuring timing to walk behind the car as it goes past...only the car STOPS and waves me to pass in front of it. Which I feel bad for.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That airport is crazy-teeny!

I can imagine! I flew to Philly.

the rule is the left, unless there's no one else there, in which case it's who rolls up first

Wait, what? I thought the rule was "who got there first" and then "if you both got there at the same time, the guy to the right" and "if you've been waiting in line, alternate"

(ETA: Wikipedia backs me up at least on the "to the right" [link] )

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

There is a small shopping center a block or so from where I live.It has a Giant, a dry cleaners, a take-out Chinese restaurant, a bank and a few other things. Mostly I use the Giant for things I ran out of, but not for a full grocery run. (Among other things, the seafood department isn't very good)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

It was SO GOOD, meara. If anyone stops through KC, I will take you there. It;s our favorite. I'd like to try the fancy Michael Smih restaurant next door -- Extra Virgin is the more cas tapas Smith restaurant -- but it's pricier.

They share a wine cellar so I blanch just looking at the wine list.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can report that walking to Costco is the most ridiculous thing ever. You can only buy like three items, and everyone thinks you're a crackpot.

Ha! My in-laws live across the street from a Costco and they totally do this. They basically treat Costco like I do the bodega on the corner.

Also, shit, I didn't get a chance to move my car today. That's gonna make me late for work in the morning.

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

The way I (finally) remember the rule is that it's whoever'd reach the place where you'd crash first has the right of way if you both arrive simultaneously.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Well there's my problem right there. Heh, I'm trying to think if what I mean is what's correct, but I am unclear.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm about thisclose to saying you're morally obligated to.

Cool

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I worked in Bethlehem one summer, and it was a really nice walkable town. (Or, at least, the things I needed were all in walking distance of each other. College, bookstore, restaurants, vegan bakery, and fun historical sites to wander. I don't know where the grocery store was, since I was living on the college campus and eating in the cafeteria.)
