No matter which one I take, the R5’s always silent on the way home. Everybody’s kind to each other and we all sit there in our tired little commuter bubbles. It’s actually really nice, but it’s also the reason why we all shat ourselves when that dude screamed HAAAAUUUUGH! at the top of his lungs.

Some guy on my very quiet train home scared himself awake with an actual blood-curdling scream, and I swear to god the white streak in my hair is even whiter now.

Newsletter's out! Full of lovely, old things and a side note about a an inscription on a 17th century Spanish jug that made me snort tea up my nose:

Smother me with rose petals
Smother me with rose petals

And give me that armlet.
