Lot of moaning about the Canadian elections tonight, which strikes me as more than a little premature. As I type this, the results per AOSDDHQ (or whatever it’s being called this week) with 322 of the 343 seats reporting: 152-144 Lib/Con, 22 BQ, 5 Dippers, and one Green. A few people (including myself) think it’s going to be a Conservative/BQ minority government.

In other news, I’m going down to Vegas tomorrow for a Wednesday appointment at the VA, and dropping off my desktop box for some work. We shall see if my Surface Go is up to the task of handling the linkagery. 

Also also, I posted an explanation of who all these SF legends are that I’ve been posting on X. It’s at the Substack.
