conulywhere I'm unable to really focus on anything other than one book, repeatedly.
It may be a craptastic setting that nobody would want to live in, but I'm now on my third re-read in as many days.
(Note - book jags happen without warning. They say nothing about the quality of the book in question. I don't always get them over the books I'd like to get them over either. Though the books I'm rereading a dozen times in rapid succession often *are* good, my simply having a book jag should never be taken as a recommendation.)
In unrelated news, if this doesn't let up then tomorrow I'm going to go over to my neighbor's house and smash all his speakers, try to stop me. I'd send him a note, but that's just being passive aggressive.

What if all covid‑19 deaths in the United States had happened in your neighborhood?
a) That many people wouldn't fit in my neighborhood, b) The official number is likely a severe undercount, who knows the actual multiplier needed to get it somewhere more accurate, c) If it was my city as opposed to neighborhood, going by the official number it'd be 3/4 wiped out. It'd have about the same population as the last small county I lived in, in other words. And that place was lonely as hell.

Is it wrong that I laughed at this? Forget that passive-aggressive bullshit and go for full-on aggressive! Woo!
