I was in San Juan once and, walking back to my cruise ship, saw a van jump a curb, slam into a police vehicle, and then the driver hopped out and jumped off the pier into the ocean.
The first time I visited Los Angeles and saw literal garbage piled 2-3 feet high on public sidewalks. In the days after I saw the tent cities. (I’m from Kansas City, where garbage is very well managed and tent cities are a rarity.)
I once saw a very tall, dark shape in the woods getting chased by cows. It might have been Bigfoot. It might have been a bear or a deer that reared up on its hind legs. It was too far away for me to say for sure.
LA is aggressively overrated from everything I’ve heard. NYC prices, Kansas City Indianapolis infrastructure, Manilla tidyness. The weather is nice, I guess.
Your first one reminds me of something that happened awhile back. I was at a donut shop staring out the window when a scruffy dude in a pickup truck slammed into a traffic light, tipping it over across the street.
Now as it happens, said donut shop was a watering hole for police officers (yes, the stereotype is real), and about a dozen buff uniforms trotted out within seconds. The guy climbed out of the truck and tried to light a cig and it fell out of his mouth as he saw them rushing up.
A few.

My bad. Uuuuh… Indianapolis infrastructure, according to a quick search. Speaking of cities that get bomb reviews…
Haha, it’s all good.
Yeah, that’s about right from my experience

Would cows chase away a threat? Genuine question because I am curious. I can’t imagine it.
I honestly don’t know. That’s just what I saw. Maybe they were running from it.
