My life has been a hell of a lot easier than the generations before me. When my major complaints are “the network is down” compared to “it’s winter and the furnace isn’t working again” or “the company shut down, how am I going to feed my family”, I think I have it pretty easy.

Honestly, every generation gets shafted one way or another. So I’ve never tried to look at mine and say, whew... we have it rough. It kind of discredits the struggles everyone before us has gone through. I didn’t have internet until I was 18. Can’t live without it now. No cell phone until I was...

I don’t mind people criticizing. Hell, my about me criticize’s my own writing.

We bought our property using hay ? It was nothing more than forest and rock. Spent most of my childhood clearing forest and breaking stone/rocks. My house was... well, whatever. This was in the US. Now, whenever I need something, I open an app and order it. I mean, COVID brought some tough...

When someone tells me that it just inflates my ego. Sounds like the readers just don’t understand my brilliance. :blob_sir:

Yeah, that’s why you see surfers in wet suits all the time. It’s not cause it looks cool, it’s to prevent hypothermia when out there so long?

You know, I was trying to think about how I don’t weave in information organically :unsure: But, I’m having a hard time imagining how adding pieces of information chapter by chapter when it’s needed is not organic ? I even made a prologue now.

West coast currents travels from Alaska south. East coast currents travel from the Gulf of Mexico North. Water in LA is always cold. It’s rough. They have a decent number of nice beaches, sand wise, but that cold water can be brutal. Especially when it’s hot and you jump into a 40+ degree...

Well, I don’t know about having it the hardest. Every generation has it hard in some way. I mean, I wouldn’t want to live through the depression like my grandparents, or lived through the draft and a few other issues like my father’s. I would need to see how my generation has it harder than...

I honestly can’t remember when I went to a beach in NY. I know I went with a few people somewhere on LI. But I don’t remember where. Lake and pool swimming upstate. Water in LA is too damn cold. But Santa Monica to Venice is a cool walk.

IDK. Right now Millennials are really mucking things up. I’m pretty close to the Gen X/Gen Y line.

Damn. Last time I had a Pina Colada was after some jet skiing. COVID really messing things up. If you have money and a boat you can go out a bit and still jet ski/paddle board

Wait, you’ve never had rum n coke? Long Island Iced Tea is kind of like a breakfast drink. But in the heat, in the tropics, rum n coke is a go too. Pina Colada if you need to stay sober.

Step out to pass one kidney stone and everyone starts fighting. And I don’t think A2 was attacking any one person. A2 hates smut and doesn’t like it when people don’t info-dump.

31” back home.

Rum n Coke. Christmas and New Years is over 1 month of celebration here. If I was back in NY it would be bourbon with eggnog next to the wood stove this time of the year. The rest of the year it’s bourbon and White Russians.

Almost all cases here can be linked to indoor events with friends and family. Different regions and cultures really need to be evaluated differently. People here love being outside. When you lock them down, they start throwing parties inside. It requires a lot of effort and research to create...

Extreme UV radiation in a hot environment. Chance of outdoor spread on a beach here is so small it’s not quantifiable. Even during peak tourism the beaches aren’t crowded. Now with no tourism, it would be easy to remain 50 feet from the nearest person.
