Random

My current random go-to YouTube channel is a food delivery rider in London.  I don't know why it's calming to watch a video of a guy driving his moped around London delivering food items - perhaps it's his laid back commentary - but it somehow works.  It makes me miss London.  Not necessarily living in London - although some of the places he delivers to seem very nice - but more the energy and activity of a big city.  In my time in Seattle, I've gradually moved further and further out of the city - swapping urban living for suburban living.  Obviously there are pros and cons to this, but I do occasionally miss the convenience of being able to quickly take a bus into downtown Seattle.  I'm not sure I ever really made the most of the opportunities afforded by being able to do this, but I certainly don't now.  However one thing watching the videos makes clear is why I have never, and will never, drive in London.  What a nightmare.
