Once when I was like maybe 4 years old, it snowed where I used to live in the central valley of California. I specifically remember going out into our yard with my mom and brother and trying to build a tiny snowman with the couple inches we actually got.

When I moved to Missouri at 9, we had a couple really bad snowstorms, one that uprooted a big tree in our backyard at the time. Ever since then the winters have gotten less and less snow, with the last time it snowed on Christmas/December being like more than 6 or 7 years ago. Since then we’ve gotten a couple “freak” snows that happen toward the end of February. Once in the past 10 years, it snowed in like April.

A little unrelated, but I used to live like a block away from a McDonald’s. Which fucking sucked when I was high late at night (they closed their lobby at 7, so “late” for this Christian-family-owned franchise that blasted Christian worship music literally all day every day was any time after then) and I couldn’t just walk my ass down and get some fuckin nuggets.

And fuck me, or any other pedestrian during the pandemic, because at one point they didn’t even have their lobby open, so you could only order through the drive-thru or the app, and fuck you if you don’t have a car but use the app

I had multiple people leave it at the door across from mine at an apartment I used to live at. Once, someone left food at my door, and knocked which is surprising where I live, when I hadn’t ordered anything. That time it was for the person across from me, and they opened their door because they were waiting for a knock.

Other times, I had people just straight up leave the food at my door, no knock of any kind, and they wouldn’t even mark it as delivered. I found out later after going looking for my food and seeing it cold on the floor.

Once, a driver actually stole my order. They picked it up because I saw them pull into the restaurant on the map, then a minute or so later cancelled the pickup. The next person who went to grab the order messaged me saying the restaurant told them someone picked it up already, but thankfully they were able to make another for me. I was pretty pissed that time.

My team is the Padres, but I live in the Midwest. I’d have to buy a subscription to the MLB app just to watch them, but I’m such a casual fan that I don’t care enough even though I do find them fun to watch.
