Tacos and Hailstorms

During the late-afternoon, me and a friend decided to go get something to eat at one of our favorite spots to hang out during our senior year of high school, a small place north of Westchester county called Rosemary's Texas Taco.

It's a small restaurant with four tables and tons of great tie-dyed and spraypainted crap everywhere, and it's run by an older woman with purple hair. There's all kinds of decorations ranging from pre-war World's Fair paraphernalia to authentic performance fliers from bands like A Flock of Seagulls. She's always blasting 1980's College Rock. We used to get high and drive there all the time. I figured I had to get some pictures.


And sure enough, on the way back driving we got caught in one of the worst storms I've ever been in in my life. My friend had to cram her car in under the overhang of a gas station to escape from the FOUR-INCH HAIL that was beating the hell out of her car. I've never heard of that happening in the Northeast. Here's a pic I took while we were waiting for the storm to end of water pouring through the overhang.

Power just came back on!

That's nothing! In Texas they're the size of grapefruit.
