I was hoping to get out of town this weekend but the latest forecast is not promising, although I’m still hopeful about next week.
I have Monday off and Tuesday is a holiday. So I could head out of town but it all depends on how long the rain lasts on Saturday into Sunday. The following week I have the full week off, and I’m pretty sure I will go to Central NY, the Finger Lakes and maybe eventually Pennsylvania. I do want to get out of town at least a few more times before it snows a lot.

Robert Costa’s book ‘Peril,’ which he co-wrote with Bob Woodward, goes inside Trump’s “war room” on the eve of the Jan. 6 insurrection. Costa reports on Trump’s calls to his team, the tension between Pence and the president, and the ongoing threat to our democracy. The strategy of calling for an alternate slate of electors didn’t work in January, but next election it might. “Imagine if in January 2025 Republicans are much more organized and they have alternate slates of electors ready in many states. What happens then?”
Trying to track down a map of the Fayetteville Bypass that was supposed to connect Interstate 690 in DeWitt to NY 92 in Oran via the NY Central RR rightway. I’m sure it has to be somewhere on the interwebs.
Clearing this afternoon helped provide a good picture of current foliage conditions.
I still like my Gadsen flag. The other day when I was out camping down at Aspah Run in Wellsboro Penna, I was asked about the meaning of the Gadsen flag. I struggled for a bit, but I basically explained it’s about getting the government off our are back. I have long said I’m sympathetic to ideas of the Tea Party – namely that government regulates too much in our lives – but doesn’t regulate big business enough. I am no means a Republican, but I do support libertarian causes, and the right of people to live a life free of government harassment.
