Big day

To be honest, my day was dominated by big news that had nothing to do with healthcare.....we closed on our house today (the one we were buying....we closed our sale yesterday).

It was almost nice watching this happen in a different field....though I felt incredibly bad for the pundits trying to put together commentary while still trying to read the decision.

Not much with statistics to comment on, though Nate Silver has some good preliminary stats on how this will go for the election.
