A reminder.
Start young.
We just linked this in.
I'm doing son again.
I don't know how old this woman is, but given that she's indicated to be the "daughter of a FSA client", my guess is that she's in her late teens. Probably somewhere between 17 and 19..
Looks older, doesn't she?
She certainly looks more mature.
I hate to go down that "everybody was better" in the past road, as it simply isn't true. But a lot about this photograph is really remarkable. A young woman, some would say girl, but she looks too mature for that, is posed with a serious animal. She has a serious look on her face.
She's clean, turned out in a dress, and not bedecked with tattoos. Her hair no doubt isn't green, violet or pink. She undoubtedly isn't having doubts about her gender or fascinated, like so many are today, about her own organs to the extent she basis her identity on satisfying them.
Some things, indeed, truly were a lot better in the past.
is are they wealthy or employed in the vapid (i.e., entertainment) industry?
A photo showing a buffed RFK Jr., age 69, brings this up. I don't know really when it was taken, but people who are logic impaired seem to think this proves his anti vaxing position.
No matter what you think of that, what this proves is that he has piles of time on his hands.
There's a massive difference from being awaked at 3:30 in the morning as United Airlines has cancelled, for the second day in a row, your spouses flight home, and this means you woke up only 30 minutes early, and you go on to get up and fix coffee knowing that everyone you meet today is going to be in a desperate crisis, and you are going to be in crisis central all day long, and then come home and hope that she made it home and isn't stranded somewhere, and to have all of this be normal, than to have all freakin' day to do nothing.
Sure, not everyone who doesn't have to deal with the world all day will look buff. Some will just self-destruct. But part of really looking good, so to speak, is having the time to do it. And for those in the entertainment industry, well that's their job.
Yeah, a person should take care of themselves. Many don't. Genes (as the young deaths of some celebrities even show) mean a lot.
But stress, anxiety, injuries and daily living mean a lot too.
I know that climatologists will scoff at this, as will residents elsewhere on the globe, where this has been a hot summer.
But it's freezing here.
It's 56F as I type this out.
The average daily temperature here ought to be in the lower 80s, this time of year. The average (nighttime) low around 45F. Recently we just get up into the upper 50s and its cold. I don't know hwat its dropping down to at night. The predicted low was 50F for today, and its predicated to get up to 78F.
It's a lot like living in Laramie when I lived there.
It's also been super wet.
I read once that you see photos and illustrations of people wearing wool jackets, like U.S. Cavalrymen in the mid 19th Century, or vaqueros doing to the same, one of the reasons is that it was cold. I was reminded of this as I was pondering wearing a wool coat to work, as I'm cold.
