Weather Update – July 21, 2021

|

Finally the rain and clouds are expected to break ☀

One my morning walk 🚶🏻, the air doesn’t seem so dirty after last night’s rain but it’s still humid. 🏢 Back in the office today again but that’s pretty much the norm nowadays. 🚍 Now they just need to bring back the rush hour buses and the express. I think most state agencies are full time downtown come September so I expect more service now. Going to watch the bus service weekly bulletin this week to see if other buses will be added come August. The buses certainly seem busier these days.

After such a long rainy stretch, it looks like a nice week coming up 🏖 for my summer vacation. I’m going to pack a tarp but hopefully I won’t need it but instead will be using globs of sunscreen.

I haven’t done much to prepare for summer vacation but I will go for food and fuel ⛽ either tonight or tomorrow after work. I’m not going to get much food but I want to have a full propane tank and gasoline before leaving and enough food 🍲 for the weekend as I might not get down to Watkins Glen until Monday. Also want to get some additional books 📚 to read. I should look online and reserve books.

Good Morning – July 21, 2021

|

Good morning! What day is it? A hazy Hump Day with the wildlife smoke, of course. 🐪

Clouds, some fog, red haze over the sun and 64 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🎴Calm wind. The dew point is 63 degrees. A little less humid. The skies will clear around 7 pm.

Midpoint of the week. 🐪 Getting closer to summer vacation. 🏊🏻‍♂️ I didn’t sleep all that well, I woke up early, maybe because I’m just a little bit freaked out about everything. I probably shouldn’t be as I know vacation will be good but I am.

Decided to do breakfast 🥞 first then the morning walk 🚶🏻 as lately I’ve been coming back from my walk, sitting down, sipping my coffee ☕ and losing track of time and missing the earlier bus. 🚍 Kind of bad, especially now that I’m in the office downtown 🏢 more. That nine o’clock bus is always running late.

It certainly rained hard for a while ⛈️last night, especially in the middle of the night. No flooding locally but it seems like it was loud for a while. But it looks like it’s getting it out of its system.lok

My hot spot and unlimited mobile data plan is done, 📱 so no more internet at home 🖥 or watching YouTube videos for hours on end in the evening. That’s fine, the big thing that used a lot of data was the Zoom Meetings and streaming session for work and I’m mostly back downtown so I don’t need those things. I like to limit my internet use plus I have free Wi-Fi in the office 🏢 or a short walk 🚶🏻 down to the library 📚.

Not sure if I will be back to wearing the muzzle 😷 but it seems like some the reaction to the Delta variant is just reactionaries who are scared of their own shadows. 🕳 Same kind of people who believes there is a terrorist under ever street corner or a clown 🤡 in the sewer with balloons. 🎈 Exceptionally few people who have been fully vaccinated 💉 are hospitalized 🏥 with COVID. I will wear my mask on the bus and in the elevator when I’m sharing it but certainly not on vacation. 🏖
