What I think is wild about London is how differently they speak based on such _tiny_ (to me) geographical differences!

What do sheriffs do when all the cities/towns touch? How do you feel like you have a hometown when the next town is like six contiguous streets away? I lived there long enough it started to feel normal but it was very strange at first. I could see going in the other direction being equally weird.

No shade to those folks, btw. If you haven’t driven from one side to the other a few times it’s genuinely hard to imagine.

When I moved to MA I struggled w/the fact that there was no “between” towns. Like no fields or anything. Just a sign saying leaving Town X and another welcoming you to Town Y.

I’m not convinced that it was always a name confusion issue, though. If you live where the states are small in size and fly when you travel to other parts of the country I’m not sure you can truly understand how very very wise the US is and how much bigger the western states are.

Moved to ID from MA but my immediate family were in IA and IL. Had several people say “oh that’ll be nice to be closer to family.” Nope, Boston is pretty much the same distance from Cedar Rapids as Boise is.

Productive procrastination is how I accomplish anything.

It reminds me of when people used to earnestly call in to the radio station to dedicate Pearl Jam’s “Better Man” to their boyfriend.

I love those Delta cookies. Zero desire to eat them when on the ground. I also love a hot dog outside but they never occur to me as inside food.

Jealous!

Sweet! In that case, I vote 1 3 2 most to least favorite.

Are we doing ranked choice voting?!?!

Thanks for curating these. If you need another name, I’m not sure Blueskydaho is taken.

I get the butter chicken with paneer subbed for chicken. So good!
