I managed to avoid visiting Electoral-vote.com for almost a week after hearing about it from Rif. Unfortunately, I’m now addicted, and will probably lose sleep on a nightly basis worrying about who’s gonna win.

We had a great time camping this weekend at Beartown State Forest in Western Mass. Although we managed to get a campsite without one, reservations are recommended – especially nice looking are sites number 8, 10, 11 and 12. Surprisingly absent out there, however, was much in the way of wildlife. We saw no big birds and no mammals bigger than chipmunks.
