In no particular order:

• Campaigning goes oddly
  • I’ve been told to hold off for the time being. The other party’s primary isn’t concluded yet.
  • The other party’s candidates are finally doing actual campaign actions. Voter participation in the early voting and absentee balloting is exceptionally light in the ward to the point that there have been a total of two ballots cast in that party’s race.
  • I am going to focus on basically two things.
    • First is roads and their pretty bad shape in town. Fixing them would improve public perception of our community, give us better standing in pursuing economic development, and as a practical matter lead to fewer rough rides for ambulance passengers.
    • Second is getting a railroad station built somehow so that we can ask AMTRAK to have the Lake Shore Limited make a stop here. The track between Cleveland and Erie is one of the longest runs made by an AMTRAK train without a stop.
• The Ubuntu realm sees not much of a presence by me.
  • I have been relatively busy with face-to-face life.
  • There aren’t really places on the ISO Tracker to report testing images in the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
• Life has been weird.
  • I’m driving a new-old car after the other one died on me.
  • Weight loss work continues.
  • COVID-19 basically killed any notion of trying to venture out into dating at the moment but not due to social distancing or other protective measures. It shut things down through making so many people locally go nuts. Have I mentioned the militia and anti-vax types my local area is home to?
  • I am making it to church on Sunday mornings
  • Writing is getting done but local publications aren’t buying anything.
    • One of the local newspapers is just barely meeting the definition of a “newspaper of general circulation”
    • The other paper is a weekly newspaper and only has so much space to print so much content
  • Second dose of the Pfizer vaccine is on Monday for me
