Speaker Series Marks 50th Anniversary Of Empire State Plaza.

"The first lecture in the Wednesday evening series at The Egg Center for the Performing Arts is on Sept. 16. It will feature the clash between Albany Mayor Erastus Corning and Gov. Nelson Rockefeller over the state’s plans to raze 98 acres in the heart of the city to build the sprawling marble complex."

"On the same day, a Plaza at 50 Festival will feature a full day of food and live entertainment ending with a fireworks display."

Just another summer day, this September morning with temperatures climbing up to 76 as of 9 AM with weather rapidly heading up to 92 degrees.

The warm weather is not stopping the local schools from going back in session or the traffic from returning. I guess the traffic is little more than a minor annoyance, as I can play on my phone as the bus navigates the heavy city traffic. Cities are were the jobs are, and if I wasn’t decently well compensated for my time in Albany, I would be long gone from NY State.

Thursday is Primary Day. As I will probably one of three people who actually vote, I should probably think about voting. I don’t know much about the candidates although Dan McCoy keeps mailing me junk mail that doesn’t even burn particularly well. I have no idea on the local primaries and I don’t really care, because I feel like I barely even live in NY State anymore. That said, I do maintain an address in Delmar and I’d rather have my buff card reflect that I voted in the election, even if I ultimately just put a blank ballot in the SCAN-TRON machine.
