This week according to Contra Costa Health Services, the, “adjusted average daily number of new COVID-19 cases in Contra Costa has doubled in recent weeks, rising from 4.3 per 100,000 population on Oct. 16 to 9.2 on Nov. 16.” Contra Costa is now back in the red tier which has led to limits on indoor activities such as movie theaters, museums and other activities.

Given the degrading circumstances, are you planning on celebrating Thanksgiving with non-household family and/or friends next week?

The presidential election wrapped up on Tuesday but unbelievably they’re still counting ballots due to Covid-19 with all those mail-in ballots. I’m checking news sites way too often and watching the news as well. How are often are you checking the electoral map updates?

Considering that the United States does not offer a ranked voting system in presidential elections, should people be voting for third party presidential candidates that have no chance to be elected? Considering how close the previous election turned out, with celebrities like Susan Sarandon voting for Jill Stein in 2016, and Kanye West on this year’s ballot, is a vote for a third party candidate the same as not voting at all?

When I was younger, I always looked forward to reading the newspaper comics, especially the full page, color, Sunday comics. The Far Side was one of my favorites. Check out this particularly relevant, recent comic from the artist Gary Larson. Do you miss newspaper comics? What was your favorite comic?

With the presidential election almost two weeks away, millions of votes have already been cast. Last night there were separate presidential candidate town halls and I really can’t imagine the choice being any clearer one way or another. A family member mentioned a friend who was undecided, and when I heard their reasoning, I was frankly shocked. Are you still undecided or know anyone who is undecided? What reasoning do they give?

I asked this question over five years ago and am revisiting it again. Listening to Apple Music, artists I’ve discovered and enjoy listening to are Cage the Elephant, France Gall, Kate Bush, Leon Russell, Nina Simone, Portugal. The Man, Suzie Quatro, The Sweet, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. What are your favorite musical artists or bands right now?

This week the first presidential debate took place and it was quite a scene. Do you plan on watching the vice presidential debate next Wednesday and the following two presidential debates? If so, are you watching to learn more about their campaigns or for entertainment?

This week we learned that California will be phasing out gas-powered cars by 2035. Every time I switch cars, which is not often, I try to make sure it’s more fuel efficient than the previous one. But price matters, too. Do you plan on getting an electric vehicle for your next car?

With the election less than two months away on November 3rd, due to Covid-19, “every registered voter in California will receive a vote-by-mail ballot in the General Election”. I recently received the official voter information guide which you can view here and am planning on voting by mail. How do you plan to vote, by mail or in person?
