petrea_mitchellLately the weather is very variable. We've had a few days of rain, a few days of clear, chilly nights and sunny afternoons, then clouds and more moderate temperatures, then today the sun came back and it topped 70F. A very nice day to be out and about doing things, if this were the time and place to be out doing things.
Election overload is setting in. The SO reports that friends are dropping off of social media until November 4th. Even FiveThirtyEight has published an article on "8 Tips to Stay Sane in the Final 15 Days of the Campaign", although this seems to be some statistician-specific definition of "sane" that I was previously unacquainted with. (Tip #1: Think about the global pandemic. Tip #2: Remember that nothing is certain...)
Fannish things continue to provide insufficient distraction. SPIEL.digital still hasn't released a proper schedule; I guess we don't get to see it until real registration starts on the 20th. Not a peep has been heard about virtual Smofcon for weeks. OR-eCon's only recent announcement was that it needs more virtual room hosts. I was assuming that they'd be reaching out to the usual list of Orycon panelists to ask if we wanted to participate, but either they haven't or I've fallen out of their system again. Too late now.
Voting has improved my mood though, at least temporarily.
