Daily Update – April 12, 2022

Good morning! Happy Rainy Tuesday. 🌧

I don’t think the rain is expected to last all day, but it’s certainly a very dreary start to the morning. But it will clear.

Rain and 50 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a west breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear around 11 am.

I was feeling kind of out of it, tired and just sick yesterday. 😩 Not sure what it was, maybe still catching up on sleep from last week. But today I am feeling a lot better, despite the rain. 🚌 I did walk down to the express bus but not the earlier one as on this dreary morning, I wasn’t rushing around and I figured I probably wouldn’t be doing laps on the plaza in the rain.

Yesterday, was a fairly quiet day. 🤫 Nice afternoon for walking at Washington Park mid-day, and the commute home. Marconi and cheese I made for dinner. 🍽 After such a long and crazy week last week, I am glad I’m recovering. Still felt fairly tired and sick on Monday. Not sure if I was coming down with something, but I feel better today. I’m still wearing my muzzle.

Walked down to the Town Park 🏞 last night, and it was a very mild evening though the park wasn’t as wet as I expected. Some of the nature trail was eroded though from the heavy rains last week. Heard the owl 🦉 but other then that not a lot of wildlife besides some deer 🦌 around dusk by the softball fields.

Biden will allow summer sale of E15 gas : NPR

President Biden will announce Tuesday that his administration will temporarily allow E15 gasoline — gasoline that uses a 15% ethanol blend that is typically banned from sale from June to September — to be sold this summer, a measure intended to help ease gas prices on a day when inflation hit its highest monthly figure in 40 years.

This will be an interesting experiment in air pollution control. Will it make air pollution worse in major cities from additional volatile organic compounds being released in the air?
 
Or will the impact be muddled from everything else -- such as less driving due to high gas prices, plus all the smoke from wildfires? Only time will tell.

How soaring inflation forces stark choices on low-income Americans : NPR

From rising rent to higher heating bills, surging inflation impacts everybody, but it poses a particular hardship for people with little extra money to spare.

On Tuesday, the Labor Department reported that consumer prices in March were 8.5% higher than a year ago — the sharpest increase since December of 1981.

While no one likes paying more for haircuts or hamburgers, high inflation is especially painful for low-income families, whose spending is heavily weighted toward necessities such as gasoline and groceries, which have seen some of the largest price hikes.

Gasoline prices have jumped 48% in the last year while grocery prices are up 10%.
