@kajord@hachyderm.io my very first year in the USA, College Station, TX, I made that mistake. Checked the distance, it was within my walkable range, and off I went . If only I could talk to my past self... That is definitely on my top 5 mistakes (so far). PS: let's just say that whoever called the cops on me when they saw a suspicious brown man walking, did me a favor. I got a ride to my destiny.
