Well they're dumb for doing that. This is the one holiday that you can easily physically distance and still have fun. Hell, just dress up like a nurse or plague doctor and you're good to go.
So the haptic rain sensor with my Tempest is not the greatest at picking up drizzle / very, very light rain. Looks like it's been underestimating the precip. When you get to RA- it picks everything up though.
IMO, since 2008 we've pumped so much public money into the markets that they no longer reflect the "real" state of the US economy. If we let the market go, there's no way it would be over 25,000 right now. It's on a seemingly odd sugar high.
