October 19, 2019 Afternoon

|

Talk about a nice afternoon. Sunny and 56 degrees at the Peebles Island State Park. 🌞 There is a west-northwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃.

At sunset, look for clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 52 degrees. There will be a calm wind.

Canvassing for David Bissember went well, and now I’m out hiking at Pebbles Island. 🚶Nice afternoon but daylight is burning and there are many people here. But with a sweater on I expect it to be a very pleasant evening. 🎃

Cold and Wet Today

|

Today sure would be a cold and dreary day if I was out camping. I would probably stay out in the wilderness, as it beats being home, hiding out under a tarp or in the tent, with a book, reading and studying. I’d be next to the Big Buddy Heater, and probably would bake some bread and cook up some stew to eat. The wilderness represents freedom, even if sometimes freedom is cold and raw.

The latest 8-14 day outlook looks like we might end up getting fairly warm and less wet weather, although it gives a 33% chance of above normal precipitation.  I am sure hopeful, it’s been a long and tiresome time working out here in Syracuse. I need to get away. But regardless I’m saving for a better tomorrow, when eventually I’ll have a place with a nice solid roof, and a toasty warm wood stove, located in the wilderness for days like today.
