Place is coming up in the world. There is a Dollar General there now.
Have you ever been down U.S. 209 to Port Jervis? Not much there anymore, but if you cross the Delaware into Matamorras, PA there is all sorts of commerce. Two big things are cigarette outlets and gas stations. Guess that's driven by NY taxes being higher.

When you're a former cyclist zero fly by's are built into the equation. Sad.

Uncontrollable talkers are particularly difficult on offshore races. Feeling your ass go numb and checking your watch every three minutes in the wet, windy, darkness is bad enough, but a garrulous mate going on and on about his wife's car insurance in the middle of the goddamn ocean can turn it into bizarre and exquisite torture.

October is expensive because dumb dumbs want to see the season of death.

No, I mean I am often that guy in person. I am better than I used to be, but reading social cues is still a daily challenge.

Do like they do in Austin - just camp on the side of the road. Especially in dense urban areas.

I have (had ) dating issues because of creeping out any girl I was interested in and being awkward in any social situation. Trust me, after the fact I can realize that many times I came off as the guy you guys are describing.
Re: word vomit or verbal diarrhea, I call it verbal piñata. You break the seal, the words have to come out. It’s much like… was it Luis? in Ant-Man described as “you put the coin in the jukebox, you gotta let the song play”.

…and it seems Boulder is back on the menu for moving destination. Still have to see how AG’s job situation turns out.

Same. Though I am not a talker. I miss other cues

Yeah when we watched Community, that was very much AG’s takeaway. I have much of that too, mind (my first comment about Ted Lasso was “so it’s basically a better Major League?”), but also language. And history. But especially language. Ask about a word’s meaning and you’re getting all of it. Roots, related, archaic, etymology…
