If we ship things over, I can only hope that the front doesn't fall off the boat. I hear that only rarely happens. <br><br>My daughter Juniper was born at the beginning of 2020, so her experience of life and my experience of parenthood are both tightly linked to the pandemic. On the upside, I get to work remotely, which means I get more time with her. She's a lot of fun (and of course a lot of work).<br><br>Then, we had our twins Heath & Magnolia (Noli) in September 2023, and our lives got even more hectic and full of love.<br><br>Juniper goes to a Waldorf school, and I wish I could go, too, but I think the adult version of Waldorf school might just be therapy.

Voters would have been able to choose their first choice, second choice, third, and so on. RCV requires that the winner must get >50% of the vote. Instead, the plurality voting system that was used resulted in a winner with only 43% of the vote—not a true majority.
