Convention Recap

I wanted a woman nominee. I did get a veep.

But, going by what we need right now vs. what we (I) want, Biden is the right choice. He is a experienced reassuring presence while still being a median Democrat who will not interfere with basic policy there. The virtual convention was a tad too much on Mr. Empathy (the thirteen year old with a stutter introducing him is hard to resist) and should have said more about reproductive liberty (which can be framed as a matter of conscience) and the courts (why can't the Dems do this?). Still, overall, great job.

Meanwhile, I thought rain was the reason, but it turned out the Mets did not play because of a positive COVID-19 test or two. This delayed the Subway Series. Testing looks good now, but -- and this should be noted by reporters who cite it -- there is a few days incubation time. Maybe, up to a week. So, is it really a good idea if they play Tuesday?
