First update since May. Life seemed to be tracking back towards normal over the summer of 2021, then came the delta variant, then the omicron variant.
The main felt impact for me during that time was the return of mask-wearing rules at the office. Inflation has also been up this year, which could be considered a secondary COVID19 impact one way or another, but since I haven’t been in the market for a car I haven’t felt or noticed it.
