I’ll have to look. Though worth noting this year is somewhat of a special case given the -PMM was maintained through a strong niño winter, and now we have a niña onset with in-situ -PMM (and warm IO/+AMM) with downwelling +QBO.
So the initially niño-like STJ/suppressed 4CH regime gradually broadens poleward as we lose the residual niño circulation and any lower frequency pacific forcing (should begin seeing this when the current MJO wave propagates back into the IO/E-Hem in mid-June).
It's also a belief system that a man can become a woman or that there are more than 2 genders.
Fact: Some people feel like they are born in the wrong body. You should treat them with respect.
Belief system: A man who thinks he is a woman is a woman. If you disagree, you need to be expelled from school.
To put it delicately, my parents did not approve of my early life choices. Basically had a falling out and had to clean up my act before they’d agree to help me financially.
By the time I’d proven I was back on track, our financial situation had deteriorated, so that was no longer an option. Fortunately I qualified for financial aid for a few semesters, and have a friend who owned a landscaping company, so I had stable, decent paying work for years before that.
In hindsight I was lucky, and am grateful.
I majored in Geography/GIS back in the ArcInfo days. lol 1993-1996. then somehow chased down a dream and Interned on Mt Washington in NH when considering Grad schools. lol but then I decided I'd drop out of society for awhile in live in a van and follow a band around the country. after that I came back to reality and worked in Mapping/Navigation, then Local Government in SC, then for Apple in CA and now in Software sales.
Congrats!
