Blogcation

As we're quickly approaching the next presidential election season (seriously? I'm barely over the last one yet!), which tends to be a very intense time at Shakesville, all of us are effectively taking next week off so we can get a good breather. We will be posting daily Open Threads, which will be moderated, but otherwise there will be no new content.

I feel pretty bad that this announcement was preceded by two days where, owing to Blogger's tech issues, we weren't able to post very much, but this has been scheduled for some time. I haven't had a full week off from the blog, during which I didn't work at all, in more than six years, and I really need a break desperately. The timing is unfortunate, but it is what it is.

In any case, have a great week, Shakers. See you soon!
