April 19, 2016 Night

I sat out back briefly before deciding it was too cool to sit outside. It’s 55 degrees but with the breeze feels much cooler. I had a beer then came inside and are now watching the PBS Newshour. I could listen to the NPR live coverage of the New York Primary but I figure I don’t really need to hear the pundits guess until we have actual news.

Tonight the low will be 37 degrees which is cool but only slightly below normal. Tomorrow 62 degrees and sunny but with less wind. Waxing Gibbous Moon with about 90% visible until almost 6 AM. Daybreak at 5:34 AM and sunrise at 6:05 AM.

Tomorrow my landlord is coming to fix the leaky sink faucet. I’m always a bit creeped out about having him over, even though it’s just an economic relationship – I pay him for the privilege of using his property. It was kind of the same with the rental truck I had. Things wear out and I’ve been here for a while. I’m glad it’s getting fixed.

The long range forecast only looks so-so for my trip. But it’s a long ways off. Even if I have a day of rain or clouds, I’ll find good ways to make the most of my adventure. I look forward to getting out of town.

Blustery afternoon about 63 degrees. Only down a degree or so from earlier but the breeze makes it feel cooler. Sunset at 7:43 pm and dusk at 8:12. Mostly clear skies at dusk, around 55 degrees but fairly blustery. Tonight will be fairly chilly with a low around 37 in the city. Sunny and 62 tomorrow.

I got to vote tonight for Bernie. I will stop by my polling place on the way down to the park. I also created a spreadsheet for tallying and ultimately mapping the 157 county / congressional districts combinations that will be reported tonight. I made a special shape file to map the data. I don’t expect to get a chance to post it until later in the week. The Democratic Primary results should be quite interesting and much more detailed then we normally get for statewide races.

Traffic is crawling along on 787 with the construction. But I think I’ll get home close to on time. I have a feeling this is the last year for them tearing up the road. All construction projects must eventually come to an end.
