The only problem with big cities like this is that I have to keep my wits about me, or at least much more so than rural communities where the chance of getting a bike stolen or mugged is near-zero.
The other issue can be loneliness. Crazy, right? Here I am in a city of 300k, yet I feel small because everyone is going about their day at their own rhythm. That's why going to a Cardinals game was at the top of my agenda; I knew people there would be getting off work and having a good time. I approached a group sitting near me, entered into awkward conversation, and they offered me beer they snuck in.
To Mom: I didn't accept the alcohol
To anyone else: I accepted the alcohol
To Mom: I didn't accept the alcohol
Cardinals won!
Glad you're aight so far
