My friend was named Cliff yesterday.
He's a mailman. Maybe you've seen him? Hangs at the bar all the time, might have a drinking problem? Anyone?

After she has had a week or so to recover, you should take her a gourmet meal (blended of course).

A blended Big Mac wasn't that bad to be honest. I guess it tasted alright because it wasn't too dry nor too much sauce.

The day of at around noon: "Hey, I found this cliff by my house and looked down and there were hella secret beaches! I'm hella going to go down there and explore the shit out of it."
Later that afternoon: "Has anyone seen Cassie? Please call me or her parents if you find her!" - concerned friend
Today: "Yeah, she fell off a cliff and is in intensive care!" - Other friend
"Who did?" - me
"Cassie!" - other friend
...silence...
"Dude, Cassie just fell off a cliff. She's not going to die is she? Can we laugh about this at some point?" - almost concerned friend
i feel bad she was just talking about how much she was going to party all summer yesterday lol

I've met a lot of old people who have had similar experiences. Falling, getting injured and being stuck there.

Infinite pain from those broken bones, and a nice danger from that punctured liver too. Hope she's fine.
I'd probably pass out and just die, myself.

In Cardiff by the Sea San Diego California
I live on a cliff - the edge of one with the beach just a stairway, steps down to beach.
Houses like mine North and South of me used to have back yards, now gone and falling down to the beach.
Spent a fortune to keep my back yard a back yard lol

This is from a local magazine and when it mentions SRF They are my direct neighbor and by direct I can throw a ball over their very tall fence Costs given re what it takes to keep my back yard vs that article - I wish it were only a paltry $130,000 -Today that buys nada protection here
"A prevalent problem for sea bluff landowners is that of cliffside erosion. The bluffs that line San Diego's coast are made mostly of sedimentary rock and are prone to shifting and sliding. Drilling done for construction or irrigation lines has been a problem, as it can cause the cliffs to crack. The biggest threat to the cliffs is the effect of water, either from manmade sources -- like the thousands of sprinklers employed by area homeowners -- or from natural ones -- like the ocean waves. Overwatering causes water to, over time, carve channels in the bluff. Waves do their damage slowly as well; they crash against and crack or eat away at and degrade the cliff base, causing it to shift and, eventually, parts of the cliff to crumble. Rain and wind are also factors; storms in the 1940s, 1970s, and 1980s wiped out seaside structures all along the coast, the most famous of which was the Encinitas Self-Realization Fellowship Temple in early 1940. Pictures from the time show the temple pitched dramatically toward the ocean, cracks extending all along its façade, half of it a pile of wood and rubble.
But for the very enterprising (and wealthy) lot owner, all is not lost. Those with the wherewithal can have their property shored before it's built on. There are two shoring methods most commonly used to secure beach bluffs: one is called "underpinning," where holes are augured horizontally into the cliffside and filled with mesh and concrete, and the other "beam and lagging," in which long I-beams are sunk vertically into the ground and covered with gravel or cement. Both processes are expensive, even more so if the I-beams are left in as opposed to removed once the concrete cures. Sometimes they're left in for added stability, called "permanent shoring."
Either way, "It ain't cheap," says Chris Maize of San Diego Shoring. He estimates that an average two-story beach house costs over $130,000 to shore, an amount that does not include the cost of equipment or the soil removal involved in the process. "You have to be a multimillionaire," he adds. The cost of one $8.5 million house in Carlsbad, Travasos and Gilmer say, was partially due to the expense of shoring."
