Monongehella and Geo Wash. National Forest Campsites, Shelters, Observation Towers and Scenic Vistas

Interactive map of various campsites, shelters, scenic vistas and observation towers that I created by a mix of heads up digitizing and querying the OpenStreetMap for West Virginia. The heads up digitizing is a bit rough as it is based on memory and I don't get to West Virginia all that often. You will need to zoom in to see the Forest Service Topographic Maps.

Here’s how ranked-choice voting will work in New York in 2021 – QNS.com

Ballots will allow voters to rank their choices one through five. However, if they wish to simply only vote for one candidate and leave the rest of the bubbles blank, they can do that.

If none of the candidates get by with a 50 percent majority, the candidate with the least first rank votes is eliminated and second choice votes on the eliminated ballot are counted as first rank votes. If a candidate then passes the 50 percent threshold, they are named the winner. If not, the processes repeats until a winner is determined.

Finally Friday! 😀

Well, shit it’s January and cold and gray out, and I’ve been working from home all week – but at least we can at one level celebrate the fact that it’s the weekend. Stay warm.
