Kind of a sloppy morning with light snow coming down and an inch of slush on the sidewalks. Albany city streets are snow covered, because if God put it there, he’ll take it away. Other streets are slushy. Currently 23 degrees at the 9 o’clock hour. Snow continues until midday when cloudy skies will start to prevail. 34 degrees for the high. Sunset in about ten hours at 7:26 pm.

It was a pretty quiet weekend for me, although I was able to get the frig cleaned out and the kitchen scrubbed up. Never got the bottles and cans to the transfer station. I didn’t do much hiking except to walk down to the park. Sunday was frigid. All week is expected to be cold with heavy rain by the end of the week. So no going to the park after work this week.

Today in 1968, Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated by prison escapee James Earl Ray using a stolen Remington 700 30-06 bolt action hunting rifle. James Earl Ray alluded authorities for a while using a fake Canadian passport. Also today in 1973, the World Trade Center was formally dedicated. The often controversial set of buildings had a high vacancy rate for their first two decades but tenancy increased during the dot com boom. They would be destroyed by the September 11th terrorist attacks.

Have a great Monday. The weekend will here before you know it.
