    This sounds like a place where everything is built around cars and walking is not a real option. 😟

      Was thinking the same thing. I grew up in a European city and didn’t own a car until my mid-30s, when I moved to a rural area. When visiting the US for business, north of Chicago, I wanted to just walk to the next mall, as it was just 2km according to maps. But there was simply no way of doing that safely. No sidewalk at all, busy road. We are often quick to judge people for taking a car for even short distances. But often there really is no other safe way.

        Totally feel you. I’m also from central Europe and currently making a vacation in Thailand and it’s crazy how there almost no sidewalks. It feels like the government forces you to rent a scooter or in your case to buy a car to get around safely.

    4 minute drive, because if I took 20 steps in a row my heart would explode.

  • This is why I keep mix CDs in my cars. Turn it on and it’s already playing the CD I was last spinning. And you know what? I think I’ve got pretty good music taste so I’m gonna let that shit play lol.

    I just burned the Chappell Roan album and left it in my wife’s car lol We’ve been bonding over that one. One day, I think I’m gonna get us tickets to see her live.

      I’ve just got a USB of like a thousand songs on random. Every now and again I’ll take it out and add new songs and sometimes remove some old ones that haven’t stuck
