Off into the mission. Life in a mission is a bizarre universe. I rarely see sunlight. I mainly sleep when not at work. I never eat out. I am a combination of either super busy or super bored (sometimes experiencing both within hours of each other). And then we land.

I don't usually have much to say during a mission. This one might be a little different since we're working office hours. I've never worked a mission purely during the day before.

On another random topic, this is the best description of the current election situation I've read in a while:

Mississippi votes tonight. They will probably go for Obama. Basically all that matters, though, is Pennsylvania, on April 22, and to a lesser extent North Carolina, in early May. Clinton will probably win Pennsylvania. Obama will probably with North Carolina. If Hillary wins North Carolina too, though, Barack is in deep shit. If she doesn't, the convention (August 25) will be 1968-style madness. If Michigan and Florida get a do-over, Obama should probably rethink his "I won't be your vice president" stance. Florida Governor Charlie Crist—a possible McCain running mate—would like a do-over, which should tell you how McCain thinks his chances are against Hillary. The Democrats will probably end up with some compromise that will upset everyone. Also, the governor of New York slept with a prostitute.
