After the Big Storm
Sandy was quite a storm. Though it wasn't so bad in the Boston area, there were still a lot of people without power (not me, though, Somerville and Cambridge were mostly untouched). I worked from home on Monday (making a brief jaunt to the office Sunday night to prepare) and stayed inside through the worst of the wind. The rest of the week has had pretty reasonable weather, except for a brief but torrential downpour Tuesday evening that I had the bad fortune to be caught outside in.
Presidential election stuff is really in the last minutes now, and the Romney campaign is just getting incredibly depressing: From outright lying to Ohio voters about Chrystler and GM outsourcing jobs to China, to staging storm-relief photo-ops, to more details on Romney's tax evasion, to all the weirness with Ohio's electronic voting machines (though David Brin's take on electioneering conspiracies was more upbeat, perhaps). I really hope my friends in Ohio are paying attention.
This bit about the response to the storm and government policy is well worth a read.
This week has been very busy and I'm quite tired. I hope this weekend will be relaxing.
