There are 84 days left and tomorrow constitutes

1.19047619047619% of the time remaining. It’s beginning to grow and grow! Each day we can appropriate the news cycle is that percentage less of time a Trump has to pseudo-rehabilitate himself. This VP choosing is good for three days straight or approximately 3.571428571428571% of the remaining time. A rough estimate.

When my kids were little, some of the pediatricians would give your child a percentile score for their development. (Height, weight, etc) My pediatrician thought that was BS. If your child is growing and developing appropriately to who they are, then there don't need to be any "percentiles". Then, after he said this with a wicked grin he told me "I'll give you a percentile in five decimal places. It will drive the other competitive moms nuts."

He was a very good doctor.
