In 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution is ratified, guaranteeing women’s suffrage. I don’t think Donald Trump is much of a fan of that admendment.

And 18Β years later in 1938, the Thousand Islands Bridge, connecting New York, United States with Ontario, Canada over the Saint Lawrence River via Wellesley Island, is dedicated by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It remains the primary crossing of St. Lawerence River, where Interstate 81 drops down to two undivided lanes. It’s narrow but continues to serve it’s purpose. I’m sure at some point in the future it will be replaced with a modern interstate bridge.

A pleasant August morning, walking down to the Park and Ride. Partly sunny and 70 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a south breeze at 5 mph. The dew point is 64 degrees. Should be a nice day, heading up to 83 degrees with a dew point of 66.

I’m tired. I didn’t sleep well last night. It’s fine though, I’ll make it through today and then Friday I get out of town if all goes well. 

The weekend forecast still looks pretty nice for visiting the Potholers. It should be a nice relaxing weekend. 

Sometimes you just have to take life, day by day. And drink lots of coffee. So is life.
