Well don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

I couldn't imagine leaving my car outside in the, um, wind.





Around here you bring your car inside to protect it from tree pollen and growing moss.

Parking inside a garage is great. So many neighbors treat it as a place to store poo poo, and it makes no sense. People with legit woodworking or other hobby spaces in the garage, sure, but leaving their cars outside for hail, wind, etc, is so weird.

Yeah I live in San Diego where we don't get weather* but we get lots of sun which means your car will be ridiculously hot if you leave it outside for any appreciable length of time.

*does not apply to 2023 lol

7/10 of the garages in my neighborhood are just closets. The one house I'll give credit to is the guy who runs a lawn care business and locks his tools and machines in the garage rather than leave them on trailers outside.

Aren’t you near me? I have an old car I park outside my house, and motherfucking tree pollen from one of my giant rear end, one day going to destroy my house, trees makes it look like a bumble bee.

I’d park it in my garage but we park the newer vehicles in there.

gently caress the south. And gently caress tree sperm.

I hate those piece of poo poo primitive plants that never took the initiative to develop a symbiotic relationship with insects, so they jizz metric tonnes of pollen hither and yon in hopes that a lady tree will catch a single speck of it.

The ods thing is that her party gained seats but the right wing ones gained more. For the PM's party to not lose seats is unusual, to say the least. Other parties in coalition with hers lost by quite a lot.

So maybe because she personally was so popular, her party just cannibalized votes from the other parties in their bloc? So while the governing parties as a whole lost seats as is apparently usual, the PM's party escaped this fate by just taking in votes from ideologically close parties due to her high popularity?

I pay to have some guy come out and clean the caked on pollen off a few times a year because there’s just no staying ahead of it myself.

Something really cool about the South, despite the pine forests and pollen, I never got seasonal allergies, even with all the tree jizz in the swamp.
