I find this strain of nothing in particular-ness mesmerizing.
#Mere seems to have some kind of contest going about which branch has the worst parking lot.
Instead of torturing the car, we park out there on the left and walk in, but even that is tricky.
Rain is a Thing
So rain is still a thing. I mean this from a work point of view.
When Covid hit and we all started working from home full time, I learned to stop really worrying about rain. I didn’t have a commute anymore so I didn’t need to drive to and from work in the rain. I didn’t need to walk out to a parking lot in the rain. I didn’t even need to walk to the driveway. From the perspective of getting to and from work rain (and snow) stopped being a concern at all.
Now that we’re back in the office at least some of the time it’s a thing again and it sucks.
It is pouring rain today. I’m looking out the window and the parking lot looks like a small lake. I have to drive to a different building soon and that means I have to go out in this suck-fest of a rain storm and get drenched so that I can make the next meeting.
Working at home is so much better than working in the office. So much better.
Thus concludes this morning’s rant about rain. Thank you for your time and patience.

Saturday's sketch, waiting in the parking lot.
While consolidating old photo libraries tonight, I found these photos of an amusing sign at Trader Joe's back in (checks folder) 2012 on a camera that (checks EXIF) I don't think I have anymore.
(Fun fact: This is the only TJs I can recall ever having been to that doesn't have a tiny, impossible to navigate parking lot. And that's only because it shares the lot with a whole row of anchor stores.)
The local parking lot is guarded by a very diligent turtle.
