voting under the influence of particulates

In honor (sort of) of my filling out my vote-by-mail ballot this morning, today I looked up the claim that people look left when they're lying. Apparently it all depends on who you're watching how accurate that would be, but it still makes watching politicians more entertaining.

In other news, which I suspect is going to be dominated by air quality for the next few days, the PM10 reading in town today got up to 100 μg/m³, and it sucks. It's different from pollen because my normally-useless cotton mask works, but I need it in the house, too, so I'm sort of stuck in the safe room. Which has a gorgeous floor and a big window with a nice view of the back yard, but still.
