There's this self made mad scientist that lives nearby. Ok, you're right, this is Nutjob Hills and we have more mad scientist types per square mile than any other city in the world. Yep, you're right.
This one is interesting. You see, he's got a really bad case of gerascophobia, which is an irrational fear of aging. So what's different about him is that he's decided to do something about it instead of letting it "get him".
He started by reading everything he could find on the subject of aging and how the process works. He's read everything he could find about hgh supplements and their effect on the production of Human Growth Hormone and it's effect on the aging process and literally dozens of hormones, RDNA research and a whole mess of things that, frankly, sounds like gibberish even to me.
The interesting part started about a year ago when he converted his garage into a lab. He's managed to pack it with all kinds of equipment & supplies and has been doing his own research.
He still maintains that he's got a long way to go before he finds an answer but I'm not the only one in town to notice that in the last couple of months he's been looking different. His hair is darker and thicker, and he seems to have a lot more energy than before.
I don't know what but it looks like he's onto something.
