If you climb down the steep ledge off Edick Road Campsite 1, you can find a quiet place to watch wildlife from the shadows overlooking a marshy part of the East Canada Creek.

Checking out this doe walking through the Swift Preserve.
Taken on Friday August 28, 2020 at Swift Wetland Preserve.I am not opposed to having some rain the next few days. 💦 It’s been a pretty wet summer but if it’s going to rain I’d rather be working in the office 🏢.
I figure the money situation after 1:30 PM today won’t look so scary, so I should think about going out to Schoharie this weekend ⛺. I want to do Mine Kill at least once before the summer is done. 🏊🏻♂️

Notice how on Rand Hill (Altona) in the background all the new wind turbines generating electricity for the "grid". They weren't there the last time I was here, even though they where in the planning stages back then.

A few drops of rain 💧 and 64 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. The dew point is 62 degrees. You better bring your umbrella today ☔. The skies will clear Friday around 10 am.
It’s just a rather damp and cloudy Tuesday. The air is heavy and damp and stale, tasting like wood smoke and hay as I go for my morning walk 🚶🏻 before taking a shower 🚿 and hurrying off to the bus 🚍. My goal is to be on time ⌚ for work today, unlike well yesterday. What can I say, it’s summer and things are pretty quiet right now in the office. 🏢
But it’s pay day, which is good because my bank account 🏦 looks rather sad. But it’s a three paycheck month, although that third check won’t come before the rent is due, but I’m hoping not to dip into the rainy day until September. 💵 With interest rates so low at the bank, who can help but live paycheck to paycheck, investing and saving most of it.
