Bad news indeed.
Wish I were not lacking for work and had the funds to be able to help in some way.
I am in San Diego, proudly not a Native, but do notice the drivers here, when it rains, are some off the most moronic inattentive nimrods who ever got behind the wheel.
They actually speed up and follow closer when it rains, as if the rain ensures they will get stuck in traffic, and need to get where they are going even faster, before they get stuck in traffic.
Nevermind the fact that nearly every single female has one hand on the wheel and one hand holding their phone, with the latter obviously being more important to them. The males are not much better, especially the young ones.
