In the neverending quest to find a route to/from school that doesn't involve toll roads, I tried a road that's mostly industrial. I knew it was closed because of high water last month, but we haven't had a decent rainstorm in awhile.

Mud/sand. We've had more rain so far this year than all of last year combined, it has caused a ton of flooding. There's still a lot of lakefront recreation areas closed due to high water around the state, but particularly in/around DFW. Trucks are still using this road quite a bit from the looks of it, so a lot of that is just mud that's been splashed on the car as they drive by. Looks like it's been clipped at least once now too, though it's well off the road (may not have been before getting clipped).

I'm pretty surprised the city has left that car sitting for so long. Up close you can see water marks on it as the water receded, so it's been there at least a couple of weeks.

This particular road (Luna Rd in Dallas, between NW Highway and Royal Ln, for DFW goons) runs near a river that was way above flood stage during the worst of it. I just checked, it's still a bit above flood stage at the nearest NWS measurement point (which is several miles north).

If you want eerie, I used to do urbex all the time, and have quite a few creepy photos on various websites.

My favorite site to visit is an old meat packing plant that shut down in the... early 70s? It was, at one time, a filming location for Prison Break. Sketchy as poo poo to get in now though (lots of cops always around, and it's so overgrown that it's way too easy to fall into one of the many pits on the property), so I haven't been in several years.

And congrats on the judge letting you drive!

There was a T-top Solstice, and the JK is available with a 'freedom top', which is a regular Jeep hardtop made into a T-top. That's all I know of.

So due to bullshit reasons, I have a felony arrest on my record from years ago (was arrested for paraphernalia, I was "accidentally" booked under a section of the statute that makes it a felony, "intent to transport"; apparently I was trafficking a few milligrams of cannabis residue on the pipe. a single call to the county clerk got it bumped back down, which shows you how good their evidence was.) Which was holding up my college application status, since they ask you about felony arrests as distinct from the usual convictions.

Well...

My brother was into the weed many years ago, back when they were making the laws stupidly harsh for casual users. He loved to go camping, and he had a Buick station wagon that he used as his camper. Well, one night he was woken up by the sheriff, who of course smelled the weed, which gave him "probable cause" for a search, and of course he found the baggy. The county prosecutor decided that he was going to be their first 'example' case of the new laws, and he got reamed with felony transport (because it was in his car which was acting as his camper), DUI (because he had the keys in the car he was sleeping in out in the woods) and several other dumb charges. They not only prosecuted everything as a Felony, but took his car under those stupid laws. The whole thing was a travesty, and the only reason he didn't go away for a decade or more was my folks ponied up for a good lawyer, and his employer got on board and not only spoke on his behalf, but made some sort of plea to the judge that if he was put in jail, that it would be likely to make his business go under (brother was the guy who maintained *everything* for that company). The judge gave him something like 7 days (which was time served) and a long probation, but he still got stuck with a Felony and lost his car.

So yea, guy who went far away from where he could possibly harm anyone else to smoke a little got the book thrown at him, just because a county prosecutor had a stick up his rear end, and a sheriff decided to wake up a guy camping out in the woods to gently caress his life up.

I've never had the desire to do any drugs, but that poo poo seriously needs to just be legalized to get that crap out of our justice system.

DUI (because he had the keys in the car he was sleeping in out in the woods)

This is really common if you get caught sleeping in your car and there's ANY suspicion you may be under the influence of something (and you have keys on/near you - "near" being anywhere in the passenger compartment, generally).

I've wound up sleeping a few hours in my car after leaving a bar more than a few times, but I always lock the keys in the trunk for this very reason. That way the keys aren't on your person, nor are they within reach of you, and you can always hit the trunk release on the dash/floor/glove box/etc to get to them once you've sobered up. Or if you can't do that, you can always lock the main keys in the trunk, and hide a spare somewhere outside of the car (to open the trunk).

Of course, at that point, you're still going to get a public intox, since the cop is already obviously looking for something to nail you with, and they may still try to hit you with a DUI, but it's a lot easier to fight when the keys weren't even on you or in the passenger compartment.

That all goes out the window if there's :420: involved, but even when camping, I try to bring as little as possible with me, and keep it in something a little beefier than a sandwich bag when it comes to odor.

Anyone have recommendations for decent offline navigation apps for Android? The ones I've tried so far seem to want me to drill down by Country -> State -> County -> Street Name -> Nearest Intersection, instead of just letting me type in a drat address.

My phone is shut off until the rest of my paycheck clears (Friday - after-hours deposits only make $200 available, rest shows up after 2 full business days - I deposited my check at 5:15pm, and I needed to pay more important bills with the $200 they made immediately available), and no wifi at work, so I'm kind of stuck unless I find a decent navigation app.

e: if anyone wants to know why I didn't just wait until business hours to deposit the check (which would have made the full amount available immediately), my medical insurance was going to get cancelled at midnight unless I got caught up. And I slept too late to make that happen today. :sigh:
