    Glasgow is beautiful! It’s honestly so awesome that you can walk that beautiful path and end up in her big city center.
    There is just something about walking out in nature that is inspiring to get creative work done. Whether it’s writing a short story, or a script for a video walking out in nature seems to help me brainstorm.
    I’ve never gone thrifting for games before but it looks like fun! Awesome video. Glad to see I can depression watch all of the ones I missed!

      Glasgow is awesome for parks and walks all around the City Centre. And it's not too populated to make it feel overcrowded. I couldn't imagine living I'm another city. Maybe one day you'll get the opportunity to visit 😎👍

    Yes! That first shop would be pretty awesome . Vintage clothing is very very cool.
    Scott appreciates the comic and action figure stores.
    Omg those cakes look delish!
    Don’t lie! You’re playing the brats game!

      I've never been big into Comics, they weren't a big deal in the 70s and 80s over here. The first comic I ever bought was Batman the Movie (1989) comic when I was 16! So not a rabbit hole I'm too worried about.
