The World Began in Eden

“Don’t you think it’s time that we were leaving?

For another chance, another place to start

Desperate ones that went across the ocean

And they wondered how it would all turn out.

They landed on the coldest of the colonies

But still they wanted better than the rich

They built highways on the houses of the homesteads

It happened that way moving west.

So take a drive and breathe the air of ashes

That is, if you need a place to go.

If you have to beg or steal or borrow

Welcome to Los Angeles, City of Tomorrow”

– The World Began in Eden and Ended in Los Angeles, Phil Ochs

Weather Update – July 14, 2021

|

The stormy weather pattern is expected to continue ⛈ through the weekend although more sun ☀ come next week. I was thinking about taking off Friday (which looks quite hot) to do a long weekend in Schoharie County but I don’t know the weekend weather is trending colder and stormy. Plus I’ve ended up doing quite a bit of driving this week 🚘 so it might be best to do another car less Saturday and take the Nature Bus 🚍 to Thacher Park.

I am back in the office 🏢 today, which is good because some of the stuff I can’t do as easily as at home. I did go to the library for a while yesterday but there are some things don’t best downtown. 😷 It will be nice when I no longer have to wear a mask on the bus. 🚌 At least it should be nice and air conditioned there.

Noticing how quickly the sunsets 🌇 are occurring in the below table. Always seems to qqahappen so quickly once mid July is underway. It has to if we want to get to 4:30 sunsets by November after the time change.

Good Morning – July 14, 2021

Good morning! Happy National Nude Day 👱!

No calf jackets for you today. 🐮 Honestly I think you’ll want to wait until the weekend when it’s really hot to go skinny dipping. 🏊🏻‍♂️ But actually after Friday, going to cool down a bit.

Cloudy, damp and 68 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁️There is a south breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 67 degrees. Definitely a muggy mid summer morning. The skies will clear around 10 am.

Got toilet paper 🧻 and went to the Pine Bush hearing last night. 🌲It’s worthwhile to raise your voice and let the government know your concerns about continuing development in the Pine Bush regardless how much effect it might have. 👥

Out for the morning walk. 🚶🏻 I see they are adding a cross walk signal on Van Dyke near the High School 🚸. I have mixed feelings about it, at least on the weekends another beg button 🔳 is more likely to just slow pedestrians down.

Definitely a bit muggy this morning 😰 although part of it is in wearing jeans 👖 and I’m moving as time is always tight when I got a bus 🚍 to catch in a bit. But once I get home I’ll take a shower and then bus will be air conditioned, as I wear my muzzle and go to work.

I still need to get the photos from this weekend 📸 off my camera, but I’ll try to upload them today or tomorrow when I’m in the office. I think my camera is still in my truck.
