Greetings from pierside in Ensenada, where I have successfully escaped the overcast darkness of Seattle to find myself in sunshine and clear blue skies!Â*Â* Holiday escape successful!

Please vote for two, by public reply to this message, before the deadline just over 35 hours from now, at 11:00 PM EST on Sunday, December 01, 2019, or 8:00 PM PST.Â* That’s the middle of the night Monday morning in Europe and Monday early afternoon in Oceania.Â* I’m on vacation and the beach is calling, so exact time zone conversions are left as an exercise for the reader.
