Washing denim…
Blæææ….. for some reason Apple news is no longer available in Norway. Can I trouble you for the actual source?

Interesting. Most of us are complying to the last line:
Also, you don’t need to wash your blue jeans so damn much. Just saying.

@adam313:
Fuck 2020.
I saw what happened on IG. I’m truly sorry. It’s a double whammy I guess, as it is both a question of damage to your livelihood but also the destruction of something you’ve loved, and nurtured. It must be gut wrenching.
For those unaware, Adam is a cannabis farmer. An entirely legal business in his state in the USA. He has lost crops recently as a result of unseasonal blizzards. The pictures on IG are quite dramatic.
He is refraining (admirably), from being specific about the source of his distress, as we have asked him not to post too many references to his work here. This is because his line of work and the plant he farms remain illegal in many parts of the world and as an international forum we try to tread carefully around these issues.

Adam - Really, really sorry to hear that bro! My thoughts and prayers are most certainly with you old chap!

I have no more tears to shed. Thanks everyone for the support. Shattered dreams and aspirations is all that’s left. Having only one harvest a year makes this an absolute nightmare. Had the biggest, healthiest plants yet, we were far ahead of last years pace on plant care and pruning. We were set for a record crop from the 6000 plant farm. Most are now a complete loss

This is terrible Adam, I’m so sorry man.

Hurricane Update:
Well, my backyard in Florida is almost completely under water, and once the sun comes up, I’ll be trying to siphon the water into the nearest drain…but sadly our retention ditches have been full since noon yesterday - winds starting to get really bad here.
And my next door neighbor in Alabama (we still have our house there, we just rent it out) just had an oak tree go through his roof - 6 months after they finished a full gut renovation of the house.
Figured I might as well throw on the SRs and prepare for anything.
**also have my fishing waders in my living room if needed

…People in 50 years:
“Grandpa, I just got a PHD in Bio-Medical Chemistry, got married, and won the lottery!”
Me: Well, I made it through 2020, so we are pretty much the same.
