We saw the parade last Sunday coming from Bernalillo, going up Montgomery. Flags as far as you could see up and down the street, for as long as we drove. A few out of state plates, but we passed a good 40-50 cars, and I could count those on one hand.
Impressive length!
I hope so. We had so few trick or treaters in our area this year, we walked around to find them and give out candy. My wife said a few times it made her sad to think so many people were scared to come out.
We've been looking at moving out of state for a while (Both of us grew up here), if NM doesn't flip we might accelerate that plan by a year or two.
Yes, technically. I haven't seen it enforced in Abq, but gyms are being paranoid because a few businesse have been hit with insane fines for not effectively forcing everyone to wear a mask at all times. They had some stupid blitz at the parks where the FD went around handing out masks, but they didn't ask you to wear them. Everyone we were near said they didn't need a mask, and didn't put one on. Firefighter just shrugged, told us to have a good day and wandered to the next group.
I hated that too. My parents lost their plan mulitple times, first because professional group insurance plans (AVMA for them) were de facto banned, and second because our state got pulled from the list of states their new insurance would have plans in. I did fine, but Obamacare pretty much said, "fuck small business," and continued to do exactly that.
I'm convinced that this all stems from a horrible lack of understanding of negative vs positive rights. In response to, "I have a right to live my life," I consistently hear, "but what about my right to make you not harm me!?!?"
There are layers of misunderstanding there. Layer one is risk equals harm. Layer two is, there is no right to make someone take a positive action (wearing a mask) to reduce your risk. You have no positive rights, that inherently violates others' rights.

Rating: mixed. They would be among the first lined up against the wall. Certain C suite and former C suite employees would likely be lined up alongside them, attempting to give commentary over the gunshots and through their blindfolds.
Is that Gossamer from Looney Tunes? Looks like he's fallen on hard times... For only 5$ a month, you could sponsor him to buy orange hair dye and electricity so he can properly shave his face partially instead of clean.
Watching the nomination, I'm now convinced this was the right move. "This is a wonderful mother, who loves her two adopted children and the one with Downs syndrome. Enjoy looking like monsters when you attack her, Dems."
"There was a switch! That's why the Democrats still support repealing civil rights laws, banning firearms, eugenics programs primarily focused on minorities, minimum wage laws designed to bar minorities from jobs, and starting another civil war to separate their own states!"
Talking to random people in a bar isn't directly threatening a candidate, either. That's the primary impetus for SS visits. And you really think mailing a cinder block using a business mailer (See above for context) is common? Maybe you've had a few of those dropped on your head throughout your life.
But really, feel free to attempt to mail bricks to candidates' campaigns of PACs using business mailers. I'm sure your sovcitesque "sErIoUs ViOlAtIoN" will go on the postal workers' permanent record.
There's always a natural upswing in prices during hurricane season, too. Current costs right now are something like riots + lockdown fears (Dying off) + hurricane season (Ending in Nov) + election worries (Ending in Nov).
9mm prices will probably go down to ~30cpr by end of Dec (When we see if holiday crime upticks due to lockdown idiocy), and be back to more regular costs by Jan/Feb.
I saw this exact issue on my own reloads when I didn't know better about case trimming. 1-2 reloads into the same case was fine, past that I started getting weird issues with feeding. Turns out, the case was getting stretched (Bulging at the bottom, then straightened with the die) and lengthened just enough to hold the gun out of battery.
There was typically enough of a difference in case length to notice visually by putting two rounds (One factory or once-fired brass, the other multiple-fired brass) next to each other.
X to doubt -- I have seen 20 Berdan-primed .223/5.56 cases in my life, and they were all from the same box of cheap steel case ammo that I bought to test out. I've been reloading for ~14 years, and picking up brass for ~19.
There's probably a good number of 5.56 that are Berdan-primed from some brands (Tul/Wolf/Bear), but I think that's a fairly uncommon exception in the states. Just buy .223 ammo (The non-NATO designation) and you'll probably get Boxer primed. Or just buy American in general ;)
The Spanish flu caused a cytokine storm, which ended up suppressing the immune system enough to make people more susceptible to bacterial infection. Since there were no antibiotics at the time, this was a serious problem. Bacterial pneumonia just happens to be one of the deadlier infections, so most people died of that (After an opening was made by the flu).
One of the issues with bacteria is it's present all the time, which makes it hard to track where said bacteria came from.
