Cat news: one cat jumped in the bed with me this morning for the first time in about a month and a half (she had been going to other places in the mornings after the room was redesigned).

Non-cat news: Brown marmorated stink bugs are making a run for the indoors lately, and i'm finding and flushing them. So another winter of being a war criminal towards those dumb bugs

In Honduras in the 70s they had this Santa that would ride on top of a van with the 4 megaphones, blaring out Xmas cheer. The kids used to throw rocks at him though so he'd have to go by at around 40mph. Very much in the spirit of the Kinks song.
  1:18am
BH:

in my part of the country (the midwest) we've been on a run of generic weather lately, meaning less thunderstorms in summer and no snow yet. So, a slight hindrance for the cause of inspiring people to stay inside.

Mariano for real?! I love that.

RyanL I think it'll take a few weeks and a dip in the curve (either directly correlated to a vaccine or coincidental) to crank up plausible vaccine-inspired behavior changes. I guess it'll be interesting to see what sort of urgency swings happen during all of this.

Here in Missouri, the average of new cases may have hit the peak a month ago. It has been dropping for most of the last month (aside from Thanksgiving-related reporting quirks), but it still has a ways to go to get to October numbers. MO hasn't done a good job but so far it's been in the background while other states doing worse jobs get the headlines
