09.11.2025 20:06 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Main street was busy yesterday so I had to park about 5 blocks away from the place where I'd called in an order. As I'm walking back to my car with this giant pizza box every dad I passed said "oh is that for me?" while their kids laughed uproariously. Small towns are fun

I especially appreciated that they were raising money for the church roof because that is something that happens in literally every village in the UK

And also I've been in and out of that airport enough times in the last 2 years that I know exactly where that picture was taken
Unexpectedly spending the week in Macon, GA. Suggestions for things to do?
