Hey! Pennsylvania is beautiful.
And everything is hours away from everything else! (I'm annoyed this morning. Just found out that TCBY is introducing a vegan flavor, and then I checked, and the closest TCBY is two hours away from me.)

In upstate ny, two hours ain't nothin'. Not really, but an hour drive was really nothing. I commuted an hour to college. My mother commuted an hour to work.

Commuting to work is a little more justifiable than driving to get soft-serve.

Hil, vegan yogurt? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since I regularly eat 'cultured coconut milk', but still.

Sure. There's soy yogurt and almond yogurt and coconut yogurt. TCBY is using almond milk.

I like the reno on an island, because -- Buffista Island.
There are books for reading, and there are books for ogling.
I love my books like the kid loved the Velveteen Rabbit. But I saw a 15th century Book of Hours in UNC Chapel Hill's Wilson Library collection, and absolutely adored it. If I was super rich I'd have one library for reading and one for preserving and adoring from the other side of plexiglass.

When I love a book, I want to devour it or somehow have it devour me. I am not good with keepings books nice.
I am sort of like that with other things I really like, too. My first computer was a red imac, and I wanted to take it to bed with me like a teddy bear. Also my desk at my old job was so great I just wanted to roll around on top of it like a pig wallowing.

Because books.
And everything is hours away from everything else!
Well, in big swathes of the state, yeah. But not in the Philly area.
Sophia, did you see the one beautiful house on that website that was in Sodus?

I don't understand how anyone can read in the bath. How do you turn the pages without getting the pages too wet to be readable?
Not that I have a comfortable tub I'd want to soak in much less read in, but I've never been able to manage it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How do you turn the pages without getting the pages too wet to be readable?
No rule says your hands have to be wet. In fact, my rules say mine can't be.
