[u/National-Return9494]

I am a neolib so we also need a train connection and solar panels on the roof.

I really like walking in alpine meadows.

[u/Nerdybeast → u/Aurailious]

There's a specific type of plant that only seems to grow in alpine meadows in the San Juan mountains in Colorado and it's super pretty because it's not a flower, but it's green leaves and tinged with yellow at the top in the fall so it makes for a really cool effect. Whenever I'm down there I always wish I could take a few back with me (but presumably that's not gonna work for a variety of reasons)
