@pargrave 2.5 years since I'd been back to the UK at all. I'm all mixed up and feeling all kinds of weird.

@digitalwestie @sherred It's very pleasant, has good wifi, excellent food / drinks, and supports the Storytelling Centre. All good things!

Hanging out at the Scottish Storytelling Centre Cafe again. I don't understand why this place isn't packed all the time. Completely lovely.

Because every bus in Edinburgh has free WiFi, it has the Starbucks problem in a massive way. Phone keeps connecting to passing traffic.

Hey, Edinburgh Brew Lab is pretty great. The city keeps evolving nice things.

Rioting in my neighborhood for two nights running. Meanwhile, I'm back in a place where the cops don't summarily execute anyone.

Walked more since Wednesday than in the month leading up to it. I need to build this back into my life. Feels so good.

@Freerange_Inc I'm certain we can find time. Wednesday?

I'm very glad Berkeley is protesting, and a little astonished that the police response is so over the top there, too. Reform it all.

Two urban foxes in two cities, in as many days. Is this a literary motif? Does it mean something? Am I the subject of foreshadowing?

Hello, Edinburgh. It's been a very long time. Yes, I've had my tea.
