Reply to Favorite places to eat sandwiches and talk about current events like old men in the city? Am not actually an old man, but want to live the lifestyle by wormfingers-
Eat n Park. Sometimes I go to the one in my neighborhood during a weekday lunch time, and it’s full of people who seem to know each other and the servers seem to know them. It’s adorable. Aside from that, hardware stores! Also check the library, there’s usually events like history talks, knitting groups, board game nights, etc etc. It’s not sandwiches but it’s good community engagement!

This sounds amazing. Three Body Problem made me feel pretty dumb what with all the physics 😆 but I can relate to existential dread and numbing nihilism!

The serialised content part made so much sense when I finally realized 😆

There’s usually one at the little bird on Cochran Rd in Scott Township too. Relatively unobtrusive. I don’t get why they pay someone to do that though.

Just to update anyone who checks this thread in the future, it took just over two hours, so much faster than I was anticipating. Very very little current or wind. Water was like glass and wind was never over 3mph. River was low-ish. Day was perfect.
As always, one never paddles the same river twice so YMMV.
