So good.

I'm absolutely finishing this today, but I've gotta wrap up here at work.

Oof. I think, in the back of my mind, I was expecting something worse, but that doesn't help. Also, Colonel Asshole was partially right in his retort to York, and that doesn't make me happy, either.

Whoa-ho, progressive ideas about mental health …for women …in 1956‽ Kowal is dipping a toe into the waters of science-fantasy, I see. I'm not complaining, mind you!

Ms. Kowal, I'm awfully keen on electing President Brannan. To whom should I forward my ballot?

The OMGWTFBBQ has been very good, if a little rushed. I'm angry for my protagonist, so that's a good sign. Ugh, though: accurate portrayals of US society in the 1950 is… tiresome. Also, this colonel character I've just met is a wanker.
