Good morning! Happy Thursday. 🚸
I guess with the High School fully back open it really is generating a lot of traffic. I wonder how it will impact the buses or traffic heading downtown.
Clouds, some fog 🌫 and drizzle 💦and 64 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. The dew point is 63 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 2 am.
I don’t remember the high school being such a traffic generator 🏫 but I guess it’s the first day of school and until the pandemic I didn’t do my morning walk 🚶. And until recently, when I started to work downtown 🏢 did I go for my morning walk at the early hour.
With the rain, ☔ you can see the fog 🌫 steaming off the piles of shit at the dairy down the road 🐮 that they are composting. 💩 Composting is a great way to reduce odors and reduce the amount of material you have to haul into the fields but it tends to lock up the nitrogen for slower release which isn’t always great when you need a good jolt for growing silage. 🌽
I started doing the morning walk 🚶 during the pandemic, mainly because there was no express bus 🚍 to walk to and because I needed a morning walk to remain sane 🤪 while working at home. But I’m still doing it, and it probably makes up for not doing walks during lunch time as I don’t like having to leave my desk and wear the muzzle.
People keep talking about the flavor of the week for COVID, 💉 but I’m long time vaccinated and not that worried 😯 about it. Seems like the vaccine is still very effective at keeping you from getting very sick if you are not elderly. I am no fan although of booster shots but I’ll wait for more evidence – it’s months until I would be eligible. I do want to try and get my flu shot tonight. Yeah, more needles, I feel like a heroin addict but the flu kind of sucks. 🤧
Didn’t get much severe weather ☔ here last night but I ended up thumbing through a book 📙 I got from the library on responsive web development. A few minutes the wind hollered and a few claps of thunder ⚡ and some rain. I didn’t read it page by page just because I felt it was a topic I was quite familiar with. I also watched some videos on my phone about the R programming language.
I saw the library had several books on R and data science too. 📚 I just wish they had more on GIS but I don’t know how much more I can learn on that from reading. I think learning more data science 🖥 it will help me create new diagrams and its such an important skill to master in the era of big data and social media.
I got the three pair of jeans 👖 that I ordered earlier in the week so I should be set for clothes to wear to work on casual days in the office for a while. Most of my jeans had gotten really worn out and stained during the pandemic when I didn’t need good clothes for work. I haven’t done dry cleaning for work either in ovee a year and a half because I worn my suit so little too 👨⚖️ but that’s changing.
I took care of updating the information on EZ Pass 💳 but I haven’t gotten around to making the appointment for the alignment and other necessary repairs to the suspension on the truck buy I should do that next week. 🛻 It needs to get done and I need to pass the buck and get a new set of 35s ordered – my truck isn’t that old.
