Wait -- you guys don't have someone to mist your tongue as you eat?
Man, the rest of the country really is different.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why is it sick and disgusting, Cindy? I think of it as terribly unneccessary (I can mist my own tongue, thanks), but that's about it.

Coding and Sleeping
Washington D.C. is the only place I've ridden the subway and it was pretty bland. I hope that someday there will be a convergence of time and money to get to one of those places.
It would have been cool if Kansas City had kept their public transit system, but only a few tracks remain.

Punishingly Intricate
Actually, that would be hilarious -- determine destinations based solely on public transit.
I really want to go to Moscow, Hong Kong, & Sao Paolo after reading the descriptions of the subways there!

What is even happening?

Because there are people not eating, while other people are paying to have their tongues misted with port. It's fetishizing (word?) food, at great expense, when food is something everyone needs. I have a cut off in my tolerance of the-good-life sort of stuff, I think. I don't think I'd make a very good rich person. None of this may be logical or supportable, it's just something that makes me feel a little sick.

What the hell would I do with a $750 atomizer? I can't even wear it on my head! What's so fuckin' great about that?

It was there when my dad was growing up - he used to talk about it all the time. Actually we have a few KC cars on the vintage care F-Market line here in SF. Also, streetcars from: St. Louis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Kyoto, St. Petersburg, Milan and the English coast (an open air one - very fun. Looks like a boat. Probably some place like Brighton).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You could then stay at home and mist your own tongue while you eat brownies. Think of the money you'd save!

Fair point, if you can't wear it on your head it can't be so fuckin' great now can it?

I like the one from Nagasaki. It's from the 1920s, right? Or is that the one from Milan?
I love the F-Market line. It just (re)started running while I was living in SF. Some of the streetcars are really art deco-ish....
