420 mention (transportation and sidewalks) 

and today i need to go to the dispensary on the other side of the interstate -- a 3 minute drive at worst -- but the state of sidewalklessness means i'll have to either: 1. walk 55 minutes through a scenic walking trail; or
2. take a bus that comes by once every hour for literally just 3 stops; or
3. take an uber/lyft whose driver will have to spend more time coming to pick me up than actually driving me; or
4. find a dispensary that could deliver to me at the hotel when i don't have a local cell phone number

fries from five guys: 4/10 possibly my least favorite kind of fries. back home i know these as "soggy fries that you get at cheap falafel places". however they are edible and better than nothing and their menu even said how many calories are in them. also the smallest size is basically what i'd consider to be large
