Not sure it's all garbage. Case number is rapidly rising, near exponential. If we start approaching 2000 deaths/day, it's off to the races I think.

Mills just did it here.

In one of my covid reddit feeds

Will there be delayed resort openings you think? With T-Day only 3 wks away, when's the next window to make snow?

That's the odd thing. I am on downside of the riding season, so have lost a little fitness, but my numbers right now should be the best they could be for this time of the year and yet they are the worst. Same thing happened last year at my physical. Tried a statin, but got sore legs within 6wks. Went to a much better (partial vegan) diet in Jan, wasn't drinking any IPAs mot of the winter and when I got my chol checked in May, it was the best it's been in over 10yrs. Even better than when I was taking the statin for a couple months. My PCP said diet wouldn't do much for my numbers, but I have proof it certainly can. My cardiologist didn't think I needed to be on a statin based on my results in addition to CRP levels (always <1) so I tend to put more faith in his recommendation than my PCP. I've requested a calcium score cause I really want to see where things are internally with respect to build-up. Like I said I eat way too many carbs. My breakfast rotates between oatmeal or eggs and piece of toast with PB. When I look at strictly my oatmeal mornings with added honey, whole grain bread with PB and half banana and half cup OJ, my carb intake is ~125g! That's stupid. All getting broken down to simple sugars and massive blood glucose rise no doubt. No wonder my #'s are up including my triglycerides and even BP. And that's just breakfast. Lunch tends to be more protein based (chix), but two more pieces of bread, crackers and a granola Kind bar (more carbs/sugar). My wife tells me not to eat so much oatmeal, but I feel like 1cup is enough to keep my filled for most of morning, but one cup has 60g carbs. Dietary recommendations based on 2000 cal/day diet says to get ~200-300g carbs, which is probably where I land by dinner time, but that just seems like too much.

I monitor my cholesterol once or twice a year and as much as I love IPA's, I think they are partially responsible for my recent (and other times) high levels. I eat way too many carbs (my fault, but somewhat necessary for cycling season), but the beers don't help. I was reading on avg, craft beers have ~1.5g residual sugar per ounce with for one pint equates to 24g sugar. I'll throw down 2-3 pints on avg every night between Fri-Sun nights during the summer and early Fall. Aside from all the carbs, that's a crap ton of extra sugar. I switch to wine during the Winter which is better for carbs (lower), but still has residual sugar depending on sweetness. I told my wife we should cut back on alcohol. We'll routinely drink 0.5 - 0.75 of a bottle EACH on most Fri-Sun nights, so that's 1.5 bottles each over three nights. The boxed wines are evil as it's so easy to just doll out another glass not realizing how much you are drinking.

what kind? Been interested in trying some, but have no idea what to get and how much

yeah, that's fubar

It's over. She won. Thankfully.

I don't understand slow down in counting. Aren't all of the votes, including mail-ins entered into the counting machine. I mean, they're not hand counting are they?

It was nice not to wake up to the daily covid report across the news. At least the election provides a short term distraction.

No measurable here.

Wait till people have to wait in line to get into the lodge for lunch. Eat outside unless it's too cold

I'm sure he'll be ok with that

27.9f.

How many days constitutes a pattern change cause the cool/early snow one apparently lasted <10 days.

AC install?

Wife said it's chilly, so the stove gets lit

Wife's a flight attendant. Planes are the cleanest they've ever been. Study compared risk of covid between planes, subway, being in a car and others. Planes had the least risk and was extremely low.

Biden said he will "shut the virus down", whatever that means.

Sudden cold weather is giving me sinus headaches. Probably from low humidity.

NBC is the worst. If I never hear the words grim and surge again, that'll be just fine

Congrats SNE. Hope this doesn't jinx upcoming winter season

Nothing but a trace. First sub 32F morning, 29.8f

Enjoy the glop
