The Remaining Days of Winter Seem to Fluttering Away. πŸŒ»πŸŒ‡ When there is no hope, there is spring. At least so far this year has been fairly wet, snow free. The big question this year is how will mud season be, though we won't have to worry too much about getting stuck in the unexpected snow banks in the high country. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for the long summer nights, as hinted by the recent time change.

South End Albany used to have a Court Street on approach to the Rennselear Bridge/Ferry but it was removed when the original Dunn Bridge was built in 1929 in favor of an elevated crossing over the rail tracks to South Ferry and South Market Street. Some of Court Street would become housing, some remained vacant.

Trump can’t post $464M bond in New York civil case, lawyers say – POLITICO

NEW YORK — Donald Trump told an appellate court here Monday that he can’t obtain a bond for the full amount of the civil fraud judgment against him — more than $450 million, including interest — raising the possibility that the state attorney general’s office could begin to seize his assets unless the court agrees to halt the judgment while the former president appeals the verdict.

Trump’s lawyers said in a court filing that “ongoing diligent efforts have proven that a bond in the judgment’s full amount is a ‘practical impossibility,’” adding that those efforts “have included approaching about 30 surety companies through 4 separate brokers.”
