Welcome to Missed Connections for the week after Halloween, where normally we'd expect a ton of notes for people in cute costumes who were spotted in bars. But there's a pandemic afoot, so that kind of thing is bound to be a little thin on the ground this year. And let's be real -- we're all a lot more likely to be worried about casting our votes...
With the pandemic stretching on for most of the past year, Richmond's original community-oriented low power radio station is staying on the air with the help of a dedicated squad of volunteers.

There are a lot of important things happening in the world right now, and sometimes you might even hear a little bit about them in the Missed Connections. Things like the census (and how cute that census taker that stopped by was). Or the presidential debate (and the lovely people in Starbucks who you wish you could have talked to more about it)....
As September limps to a dreary, foggy end and we prepare for tonight's presidential debate to further scare the hell out of us with visions of authoritarian autocracy, why not escape from it all for a few minutes with some Missed Connections?
