For her friends and family, especially the parents, her descent into absolute batshit crazy must be a painful thing to watch. 

 

 

Sooooo… she’s a maturing woman?

 

 

Seriously though, haven’t really kept up with her. Is that really her? All trashed out like that? Even then, where’s she recording that? Looks like a typical, basic apartment bathroom. I’d have thought she was a tad better off than that.

Topped with Hollywood grooming.  Can't believe this was the same girl...

I know a lot of people are convinced that hollywood tears up and throws away young actors, but there is pretty strong evidence that Amanda she developed strong symptoms of schizophrenia sometime around 2009...

She would have been around 23 years old...  which according to most scientists is the exact time schizophrenia starts to manifest (20-30 for females).   she had to drop out of a movie production that year, finished Easy A and then had to drop out of another movie  and  in 2010 announced she was going on a hiatus from acting... at 24, when she was basically in her prime earning age for very experienced younger actresses. 

and in the next 3 years she went on what is widely described as a mental health crisis, to the point her parents had to be named her conservators. 

 

as degen gardner previously stated... true mental illness is crippling.

It was an amazing feat to make it to june without 90’s, as well as barely any humidity, if any. Normally it’s as early as the end of April, and certainly by the second week of May we’re 90’s with fuck you levels of humidity.

This year was different. Had one day in the second half of May that was humid ad fuck all but only hit 88/89.

Normally we get the humidity creeping in late March/early April, and in the 80’s it’s sticky and a hair uncomfortable. This year we lucked out. Last time I remember something like that happening was around 2008 give or take. Where we still had some humidity in May, but didn’t hit 90’s until the second week of June. The kicker that year was  somewhere the last few days in June was the last day at 90 or higher that summer. Humidity wasn’t low, but wasn’t balls-ass miserable levels either. Dew point was low 60’s on average from there, and never went over 65/66.

Doubt that shit ever happens again soon. I can handle heat, but not stupid high humidity along with the heat.

 

Back on topic, that same thing happened not too far south of my place, on the main road. Found that out this morning when I went to pick the wife up from work to run to the chiropractor. Thankfully I plan to be there 10min early, so this time was only 4-5 min early.

Anyway, this is the second time this particular spot has buckled. First time was probably 7-8 years ago. At that time it was asphalt, and buckled something awful. Nobody hurt, no damage aside from the road. They fixed it by cutting that area of road out and replacing with concrete. Well, now that’s buckled. It’s a two-lane road, so they ground/broke down one side (guessing the lowest of the two lanes) so you could at least creep over it, and had the other side tore out already. All between 7 (when the wife left, and it wasn’t there) and when I went through at 830. Props to the city getting on it that quick?

So yeah, probably going to be a little inconvenienced for a couple days, but is what it is.

 

I get that there’s a lot warmer places, and that y’all have it worse usually. But at least y’all typically get some type of acclimation, even if a little short lived.

We don’t usually get much acclimation, if any. It might be 60’s to mid 70’s for a week to 10 days with a pleasant dew point, then boom. Mid to upper 80’s+ and dew points in the 70’s.

I swear, the older I get the less I can tolerate high temps with that much humidity. It’s just shitty to walk onto the deck at 730 in the morning, and need a damn chain saw to cut through the “air you can wear,” let alone try to fucking breathe.

Of course a small part of that may be from not having to really get out and being forced to deal with it, since I’ve worked from home for a long time. Same with super cold and wind. OK with just cold (to a point), but add in any wind and I’m out.

I have property here I plan to build on in the next 5-10 years, but I’ve considered selling the property in favor of somewhere with a little better environmental elements.

So far I’ve looked around Colorado Springs, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and even (gasp) around outside San Diego.

Last one won’t happen, too expensive. AZ may require two small properties, with one up in the mountains that I use during the summer and rent in the winter. So far though, Colorado seems to be the overall leader for now. Still get snow, but way better summers. Compromises no matter where, but that’s an option at least.
