September 9, 2015 evening

Good evening. After the front came through with a very brief blast of heavy rain, the temperature dropped and now we are at 70 degrees. The dewpoint remains a sticky 67 from the rain but it will drop off by morning with dewpoints in the low 60s or even high 50s. Tomorrow will only have a high of 74 but bring a rain coat because by afternoon heavier rain will set in. Possibly an inch or so of much needed rain, with the Adirondacks getting less.

Went down to the library, catching the bus there but walking home. Still achy but my ankle is doing better. Last night in my socks I slipped on the stairs in my apartment but I don’t think I did any further damage. Next week I go to the orthopedic doctor and hopefully then I’ll be free to walk without the boot. I’ve been sore in other places lately and sleepy, so I got to think about getting a Lyme Disease test. Everybody else in my family has had Lyme, so I’m sure as a outdoorsman I’ve gotten it too. So many deer ticks climb on me when I’m at Elm Avenue Park.

Other than that, life has been pretty much the same. Buses have been mostly on time and the commute has been good. I heard on the radio that Citizens for Public Transportation had been speaking up about their concerns with all the schedule changes and a lack of notice, but except for cutting the one 719 morning run, I’ve been happy, especially with the restoration of 45 minute evening service on the 18. Work has been work, kind of slow but things are getting done. Went to the farmers market and bought some sweet corn and mushrooms – first time since my injury. Didn’t cook the corn tonight but the will enjoy some tomorrow. Weekend is inching closer but I plan to stay in town.

Sleep well, good night!
