Potholers Were Nice Today
The water was a bit cool and the water levels a bit above idea, but on the whole it was quite nice swimming.
June 21, 2018 – Next Sixteen Weeks
🏄🌻 Welcome to summer! 🏖⛺
Ten weeks exist until the start of the Labor Day Weekend, so get out and enjoy it before it is gone.
This weekend will start the latest sunset of the year, however we will have about 4 weeks of sunsets around 8:30 PM or later. The warmest time — on average — of the summer is still about a month out, but eventually we will reach an average high of 83 degrees. Then in ten weeks, it will start to cool off a bit as autumn approaches, and the sun will start setting noticeably early.

Albany Pine Bush Commission – Lynne Jackson Speaks About the History of Save the Pine Bush
Occasionally state public authorities, recognize the work of remarkable citizens and allow them to speak at public forums. It should be a very interesting forum featuring Lynne Jackson who has worked to Save the Pine Bush for more than four decades, which is close to half a century.
Should be a very interesting forum tonight at 7 PM at the Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission World Headquarters on New Karner Road (hint: it looks like a bank).
Something is missing here
A nice day
Hello summer.
Nearly half of New York state is in pre-drought phase
"About half of New York state is inching toward a drought, according to today's U.S. Drought Monitor weekly report. About 45 percent of the state is "abnormally dry," the category before "moderate drought." Just over 4 million people live in that area. Most of Upstate New York will likely get an inch of rain through next Tuesday, according to the Weather Prediction Center."
