I Like the Numbers Game Behind Politics.

I like the math of politics more then the politics … πŸ”’

Most politics is rooted in statistics and polling these days. While people are showing their ideological tints on social media – myself included – what I find most fascinating is numbers that go behind winning an election, both the polling and final results. While often you don’t hear much about the math and theory behind the game, I do really enjoy listening to the FiveThirtyEight podcast and how the numbers game is played.

Weather Update – November 19, 2022

Chilly today, snow showers tomorrow 🌨

No record breaking snow here like they have had out in Orchard Park. I remember seeing the rail crossing style gates on the Expressway Entrances in Western NY and thinking how novel they were – new at the time but good when the expressways are closed and blocked with snow.

Warming up mid weekend for Thanksgiving and then rain and snow next weekend when I was hoping to get up north. At some point I guess I’ll get out of town again. The following weekend I have the Pine Bush Hike. No idea how much snow will be up north I’ll have to study the maps more.
