So, apparently Crestline, CA has gotten nine feet of snow, and disaster response is ranging from non-existent to incompetent-verging-on-malicious.

Rachel would like people to contact Gov. Newsom and San Bernardino, CA, officials and tell them to send help: removal of the huge piles of ice and snow, help shoveling paths, reimbursement for expenses, and permission to return home if they leave. For those of us not in California, the main request is to ask Pres. Biden to declare San Bernardino a federal disaster area.

If I say that our house has some young adults and some, uh, adulter adults

Is there another way of expressing that second concept that doesn't sound quite so silly? I mean, not to put too fine a point on it, but some of us have much more practice being adults than others, also, we've got that frontal lobe development stuff going on. (Man, my knowledge of neurology is crap, but you know what I mean. We're closer to being finished cooking and our decision making is less screwy.) Anyway, sometimes it's useful to have a way to say this.

On the other hand, the inherent silliness of "adulter adult" might make spelling out the difference a bit less offensive.

I'm gonna backdate this. Jenn sometimes reads my journal, so I'll give this a date in March so she doesn't see it, because she's going to laugh at me. Usually, of course, I date all my posts ahead so that if I miss a day you can't see it by looking at my calendar.
