Confirmed deaths are up to 205 now for the flooding in Spain caused by a cut-off low (“gota fria” or “DANA” over there). Really sad situation, parts of Valencia were devastated. The most exciting thing here are some 35 mph wind gusts. But exciting isn’t always good.

Yeah, decidedly wetter for the lowlands the past couple weeks. As far as temps, here's where the month finished anomaly-wise down I-5. BLI: 0.0 Seattle WFO: +1.4 SEA: +.2 OLM: +1.6 Shelton: -.5 Vancouver: +1.6 PDX: +2.0 Downtown Portland: +.8 HIO: +1.2 MMV: +.2 SLE: +2.8 EUG: +2.0

The other theory, which I don't really buy, but is possible is the gap is so high because Black men are not or have not yet turned out. This is actually true in Georgia, when you look at the county by county data, the gender gap is biggest in majority Black counties. My understanding is this is somewhat a common phenomenon in GA. I did not realize Black men voted at fairly low rates.

Another lie. Another intentional misconstruing of his words. Tapper’s hit n’ miss. This was a hit. Reason number (in the dozens) why I lean Trump. If you’re desperate and go as far to denigrate you opponents as “Nazis”, there’s no lie you won’t tell, no matter how obvious of a lie it is. https://www.dailywire.com/news/jake-tapper-fact-checks-kamalas-lie-about-trumps-protect-women-remark

Also happy fall from Everett! Taken this past weekend. Great fall colors out there.
