So this is different.

Texas, not the being transported via portal. You think that would be the weird thing, but it's not. Feels like I'm an old pro at it now, though truth be told a few years ago this would have been nearly impossible to fathom.

Hey, sooooo... I'm going with Ben up to NYC for a bit and we'll be back in a week? soon in a week or two. I just wanted to drop you guys a line, not that you freak that I'm gone. [...] Not that you would. But.

We'll be back!

Well, I can now rest assured that New York is just as I left it, albeit in an alternate universe to my own. There were buildings missing with new ones rooted in their place, and not due to rapid construction. Some things were simply not as they ought to be.

This is an absolute nightmarish time to travel though, isn't it? I trust Tumbleweed will be brimming with fireworks and other Americanisms on the fourth. I believe the last time I spent Independence Day here was when I was in university.  Seems like a lifetime ago now.

How noisy can this tiny town become, I wonder.
