UCB now gives us profile page. Here's mine

This profile page is supposed to have a background photo, so I tried to develop a collage of me to put in the background. It turns out that the collage moves around strangely depending on the size of the window that one is using to look at the profile page. I had to play with the collage quite a bit to get it to fit approximately. Here are a couple of attempts

Happy New Year!
The audio play that I narrated and played one character in is now available on YouTube temporarily.
Starting January 17 it will be available free on kindle for 3 days, also.
This is a nice sci-fi/fantasy story. I had a lot of fun doing it, as I love that genre.

I’m supposed to be on Investigation Discovery January 8, at 10pm Eastern, in a show called “Evil Lives Here,” but I may only be visible briefly.
This is an example of my computer calligraphy:

The following is in reverse chronological order. Go to the bottom and read upwards
Cease and desist or I'll blow dry you
Bears are harassing the avalanche victim
They've just triggered another avalanche. I'm going to need 20 hair dryers.
Upd & down the mountain
But it's so far to go get them.
Bring me a rope, a hair dryer, and an electrical cord
I can't rescue you. I only have a plastic shovel and you're 20 feet down under the avalanche

Gettysburg Address
I had an impulse to read the Gettysburg address
Check this out on Chirbit
As I was reading it, it occurred to me that it was a metaphor for how I feel about the election results.
Maybe other people would like to record it.

Plurality take all elections and the 2016 elections
I found this spreadsheet online
I don't know if this is accurate or not, but I notice that there are 13 states considered swing states. Only one of these states, Iowa, shows a clear majority of the votes for either candidate. Otherwise, no one has a majority. Whoever won those states, won with a plurality. In the non-swing states, very few show the winner with only a plurality. Those are: New Mexico, Utah, Virginia,
In fact, in those states where no one has a majority, we don't know who the majority of the voters would have voted for in a race that only included Clinton and Trump.
This is a problem with plurality take all elections. You can get a winner, who is not supported by the a majority of the voters.
When I lived in France, in 1976, I was impressed that they had two rounds of voting. After the first round, no one had a majority. Then they had a runoff election between the two lead candidates, so they could determine who would really get the majority.
I have a long standing concern about this, because Hitler was elected with a plurality. A majority of Germans never voted for him.
Glad to see Maine adopting ranked voting
This is one way of dealing with a situation where no candidate has a majority.
