as in Byron

[cosmolinguist]

We had a lovely day with my cousin-type found-family people. D suggested Buxton or Bakewell and T said they were closer to Buxton so we went there, which was fun. First time I'd been since before covid I think. She said she remembered the name of the town because of Byron Buxton, and her husband spotted me by my Twins cap which is just what I wear when it's sunny out. I forget that people might actually recognize it, because that never normally happens to me!

Good weather, we walked around, found a great place for lunch, the teaboo could order Earl Grey.

They called me my Minnesota name and she/her'd me with no hesitation, no mention of my facial hair, didn't ask me if I had a cold to explain my voice... Whatever makes my parents only see what they look for seems to extend to nice people my own age with decent politics.

Also you got some new sandals and we got tasty Buxton Brewery beer!

This must have been posted when I wasn't paying attention (stupid sinuses). I'm glad you're in the habit of linking back. That went as well or even better than hoped for.
