Ok, just trying to wake up here.... and trying to take in all the various “here’s how Biden wins” vs. “here’s how Trump wins” scenarios...

I went to bed at 11:30pm last night hoping to wake to better news. Today is going to be much more stressful than election day yesterday.

Jon - looks like I was not giving enough consideration to the mail in ballots. Michigan and Wisconsin may still end up with Biden which would tos this up. Nate is still calling it for Biden though not with a lot of confidence. If that's true, the bad news is that the lack of clarity in the result will in litigation that could delay. We may have a redux of this going to the Supreme Court. | |||

I went to bed with no hope of PA and little hope of MI and WI. GA was a non-issue, and the Dems were losing House seat while not gaining the Senate. Can't say the House and Senate look much better by light of day, but suddenly GA is within reach, WI and MI look like Biden will win once the votes are counted. AZ is likely. Nate Cohn still thinks PA will turn blue despite the 700000 deficit. That's a lot of blue absentee ballots! But if GA turns blue, Biden doesn't need PA if he wins WI, MI, AZ. | |||

I can't keep track of all these variables well enough to have a sense of "Biden will probably win" or "Biden will probably not win." Not feeling like I've slept enough doesn't help.... Gonna go get more coffee...

Don’t get me wrong, I love Vancouver Island. I lived very near it for 10 years, could often see it across the water and it wasn’t much of a trip to get there. I lived in that climate. But I’ve decided like living in a sunnier drier climate with lots of space for horses, and no need for car ferries. ![]()

YEs, lots of articles like this one recently. People are even buying places in our superfund site town without looking in person. Housing prices in Bozeman are insane, median might be over $750k now. Missoula, Billings - they have all skyrocketed. Truthfully I wonder how many will change their minds post pandemic and after a few winters. Especially here. The other cities have lots of shopping choices. We have a dead mall (no anchors, one jewelry store a joannes fabric store and maybe a hallmark store). and besides a few small specialty stores, the only place to by clothing is walmart. The only place to get a lot of things is Walmart. (We lost two grocery stores last year). Our Costco run is the hour plus drive over a couple of passes and winding canyon roads (can be scary in the winter) up to Helena. Part of it is the popularity of a couple of TV shows - Yellowstone, and the new one that is coming out - Big Sky. Easy to fall in love with the mystique. I adore living here, it’s a landscape painter/horse person’s paradise - but most places here you really need to love doing things outdoors, and be ok having to travel vast distances for some things!) And the nth generation Montanans (they often remind you of that) aren’t all that thrilled with the newcomers either.
