coming up for air

... from the incredibly poorly designed survey data. Seriously, why didn't they get someone who knows from data involved? (Some of it is also stupid MS Access problems, like Access assigning a default value of 0 to numerical variables unless one tells it to do otherwise. This makes it impossible to know when 0 = ZERO versus when 0 = missing. So blame Access. I yearn for the days of simply doing data entry into text files or Excel spreadsheets. Now of course the Excel --> SAS conversion truncates string variables in weird ways, but...)

And now... vote? Or Diesel? I can't do both. (Actually, rechecking things, I should just vote, because the person I'd most like to see will probably be gone by the time I'd be arriving at Diesel, anyway.)
