London Summer: Hell Up In Hertfordshire
Ben fooled me into coming with him to London for a month with him this summer. I had always dreamed of going to this blessed plot, but then I got all sugar-shocked and spent about 16 tonnes of pounds keeping up with the Cockneys. And got bombed. Twice! Come on, what is that?

The second bombing. I hoofed it 5 miles to get to the Jubilee line so's I could go home. The buses couldn't carry anyone and the taxis were mostly on errand, so you had about 10 million Londoners running around like mice on cellphones. Using a public bathroom was like beating a level of Solomon's Key
