Like for example, just the other week, I noticed that the coffee shop I pass by every day on my way to work was recently repainted … into an almost neon (salad) green! Apparently, it was painted so almost a month ago.

I've got that one beat. Several years ago, the house across the street from my apartment blew up and was so structurally damaged they had to raze it to the ground. I wasn't home during the initial incident and didn't notice anything amiss until a visitor came over a couple of weeks later and asked where the house went.

(the causative incident was a failed suicide attempt...a clinically depressed guy stuck his head in a gas oven, gas ignited, guy survived, house didn't)
