I was in my car, witnessing an actual rain event. This has become exceedingly rare. People have been known to pay for this sort of experience. The photo captures the confusion I experienced as I contemplated the convergence of car, rain, roads, traffic, and reflections.
Soon after my experience with rain, I met a former employee for lunch at this place. I was 15 minutes early. He was 15 minutes late. This combination caused a tear in the fabric of the serene movements of waitstaff. I was labeled a victim of being stood up. It wasn't the case, but the waitstaff wanted to believe it, deep in their bones. They wanted to know I was a poor, lonely man in a restaurant filled with Friday-lunch gatherings of 6-8-10-12 people each. I think it made them feel like they could take a little of the burden off of me; they offered me tea and a phone in case I wanted to call somebody.
