Check forecast before leaving Dad's to head to the grocery store on my way home: no rain in forecast, radar clear.
Get to the grocery store ten minutes later: a few sprinkles on the windshield.
Get out of the grocery store ten minutes later: sunshower.
Drive two of the four miles home: STREET FLOODING FUCK YOU.
:wtf:
It's even better when this happens and you have everyone trying to call you at the same time trying to make sure you're safe and you're just screaming at them over the car blue tooth " I CAN'T SEEEEEEEEEEE, STOP FUCKING CALLING MEEEEEEE".

Yeah, that's one of those situations I'm okay with not having a bunch of people keeping tabs on me.

To be fair, both of my brothers were driving through the same weather before they got home and called me, and I was kind of in the direct path of a storm that was quickly turning into a tornado.

Driving through that weather is always the best I mean who honestly doesn't want to be hunched over their steering wheel squinting at the road while driving 10 to 20 mph?

The dying of inner cities.
Instead of a healthy economic ecosystem with many specialty stores that have personal that actually know what they are selling, we get way too many stores that sell the same stuff and shouldn't logically be able to sustain themselves financially. I.E. Fast Fashion, Ethnic restaurants of the same ethnicity, Cell phone stores, Washing Machines, etc.
Cities really ought to take this stuff more seriously.

You'll probably find a few of those are actually money laundering places instead of legitimate businesses if you look hard enough (don't go looking).

Oh, I do know that most of them do. Like, it's an open secret that legitimate Döner Shops have a lot of trouble actually doing business, because they can't compete with the money laundering operations pricewise.
Still, it's a total shitfest that really requires the cities to get their acts together

It's pretty much the same here, they're some of the worst kept secrets. I've noticed that a few of them have started disappearing after something happened to their store fronts (fires, break ins, car accidents) and the police can't pretend they don't know about them after that.

I'm not looking to end up on a missing persons list, so I just ignore them and avoid going anywhere near them if I can help it.

Funny thing about this town - a couple of folks have opened up pretty obvious fronts in the form of restaurants, which end up attracting attention for having lousy food more than for being pretty obvious fronts. I'm pretty sure more have been shut down prematurely because the county health inspectors get complaints from dissatisfied diners than because the financial crimes unit starts asking questions.
