i have fully returned to my native culture.

I will not mince words.

Today I drove to McDonalds for lunch because I ran out of lunch meat the other day. I usually brown-bag it.
However, I drove from work to McDonalds today.
From the parking lot to the drive through there are -maybe, at absolute maximum, swirving back and forth to increase the distance- 300 meters.
I drove there, ordered, paid and drove back to work for a round trip of -like I said, at absolute maximum- maybe 1/8th of a mile.

Yes, indeed, I am home.
