    1. In contrast to what I said a week ago, Illinois is seeing a surge in cases. In fact, the numbers have suddenly jumped to a record slightly above that recorded in late May. I'll keep my haircut appointment Friday and my appointment for a long-delayed tooth cleaning next Tuesday, but am planning to stay home after that.

  8. BBC: US election 2020: World reaction to long queues of voters in US [Click] Really quite amazing; I do not recall ever standing in a line of more than a few people, going back to and including hand-marked paper ballots. In the past 26 years or so, I haven’t even stood behind one other person. I don’t understand why such things are happening.
