I feel like I'm the captain of a great sailing ship, as I batten down the windows that the rain is coming in, and open other windows to catch some of that precious cool wind. Master and Commander, I tell you!

Boiling the frog works. Martial law being declared in the nation's capital city is barely a trending topic and we're not even through the first year of the administration.

Imagine you're a professional magician at a magic conference. 95% of the attendees are other magicians, looking to improve their craft and learn new ideas.

But 5% of the people there are self-appointed "investigators", seeking evidence that magic involves *actual* supernatural powers. To them, all the workshops, lectures, and literature about sleight of hand and technique are part of an elaborate subterfuge by elite magicians to hide the truth.

That's what working in election security is like.

"In the heart of Illinois, while researching wildlife disease, I made a discovery that stunned me: More than half of the raccoons I sampled were infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease. Most Americans have never heard of it. But this neglected tropical disease is no longer confined to the tropics. It’s here, in the United States, spreading silently in wildlife." #PublicHealth #parasites #disease

A ‘tropical’ disease is spreading in American wildlife

This neglected tropical disease is no longer confined to the tropics. It’s here, in the United States, spreading silently in wildlife.

Evening in Southampton, ON looking south along the Lake Huron shore. The glow on the horizon is the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station, about 25 km away.
