@cstross@wandering.shop @Eh__tweet@mastodon.uno @maya_b@hachyderm.io I spent a long winter on secondment from the UK in Schaumburg, Illinois. But instead of going back to the UK afterward, I moved on to Ireland. And *blink* 30 years have passed. LOL how did THAT happen? I liked living in the UK in the early '90s. I enjoyed the stint in the USA even though it was the winter of 92/93. But those were more innocent times.
