One of the stupid things I did

I just did a stupid thing. I sat on my bike and cycled all the way to Riverton. Granted that I didn’t actually think I would end up in Riverton. Just that the Americans are back, and though I have nothing against them, the house started to feel claustrophobic. (Yes, they are very big people.)
