April 20, 2016 Night

While tonight is not quite the full moon — the Pink Moon — tomorrow is the full moon early on Friday morning 1:24 AM — the moon is pretty big and full over Albany.

We are at 46 degrees under clear skies tonight with no wind and a dew point at 16 for a relative humidity level of 23%. Spring time can be quite dry this time of year. 37 degrees for a low.

Tonight was the Save the Pine Bush Dinner. We had a very interesting speaker from Northern Quebec who talked about the impacts that hydropower dams and damming up rivers more generally are having on their community.

A little while ago I was heading home on the Route 18, listening to Day by Day from the Godspell sound track. It sounds very late 1960, because it is. Tomorrow is Thursday.

In three weeks it will be Twilight Zone Day when the Civil Twilight will conclude at 8:39, in other words dusk. Until recently I didn’t realize that most normal people call the end of twilight a time known as dusk. I guess there is a lot of things to learn.

Really looking forward to vacation next week in Central New York, then Finger Lakes and down in Pennsylvania. Should be a pretty nice trip assuming all goes fairly smoothly. It’s been a long time since I’ve spent much time out of town.

The landlord fixed the sink so it’s no longer dripping. One less thing to worry about. Now I don’t have keep things clean and organized as much. Also won’t get blamed for ignoring a leak. Glad that’s off my plate.

Now the weather looks increasingly nice for my trip next week. Tuesday is the worst day of the week but clearing by afternoon. Might be cold enough to actually warrant bringing the big buddy heater for nights by the fire, but that’s to be expected in late April. I think it still will be somewhat green in the Finger Lakes. I’m sure I’ll have to refill the propane while camping but I’m sure I can find a place that refills propane like Tractor Supply Company.

I got my CDTA Navigator Card. Right now I’ll only use it occasionally when my discount bus pass expires. I will fill it with 15 bucks for now, so have it ready to go and not have to worry about carrying cash for a bus fare.

Now watching the PBS Newshour, but pretty soon will retire for the night. Tomorrow should be mostly sunny and 75 degrees. A nice spring day for sure. Looking forward to it.
