In Four Weeks …
In four weeks on June 14 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (304°) at 8:36 pm,🌄 which is 21 minutes and 50 seconds later then today. In 2021 on that day, we had rain and temperatures between 65 and 57 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 79 and 57 degrees. The record high of 96 degrees was set back in 1892.
Towards Sand Pond Mountain
It is the mountain peak in the distance, with Cheney Pond and an unnamed ridge in the foreground. Along that shore there, not visible in this picture, is the paddle in campsites, and the Cheney Pond Lean-To.

Look how hot the weekend will be 🏖
I just wish it was June and I could get out of town. But with work these days I can’t afford to be off the cell phone network for all weekend. But that day will come. Only two and a half weeks of session left. I’m hoping their are sine remote work opportunities in the summer but maybe that’s just wishful thinking.

Daily Update – May 17, 2022
Good morning! Happy School Board Vote Day. 🚸
I’m walking backwards from my normal morning walk as I’m planning to vote at 7 am.
Mostly sunny and 53 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. ☀ There is a west breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 47 degrees.
After a stormy and humid day yesterday ☔ today is much more cooler and sunny. Almost forgot my umbrella leaving the office 🏢 yesterday. I’ve been keeping it in the refrigerator with my lunch, mainly because it’s in the same bag and that way I don’t forget it.
I will vote this morning in the school board elections, 🗳 as I always try to vote in elections, especially when it’s easy and convenient. I figure it doesn’t take much to take a slight detour from the morning walk, 🏃♀️ and then get milk at the store 🐮 and come home and have breakfast and coffee. ☕
Don’t Forget to Vote in School Board Elections
Many of us forget about School Board Elections.
They are in a strange time of year, the middle of May, as many of us are thinking more about our summer plans, rather then critical questions of local government spending. School board elections, as local elections, are poorly covered by the news, and often are uninteresting. You may no longer attend high school, and you may not have kids in school. Yet those are not good reasons for not voting.
School Board Elections, School Budget Vote, and Library Budget Vote are all important things to vote on for several reasons including:
- Low turn out, local elections mean your vote can change results easily.
- Your decision hits your pocketbook directly, especially if pay property taxes.
- Only chance to directly comment on government spending — should we invest more in our public schools or further increase the crushing tax burden on working folk?
None of us have perfect information. Many years when I vote in school board elections, I don’t even know whose running for school board, and leave those ballots blank. If your concerned about government spending and waste, or think schools and the students being educated are getting cut too much, then either vote Yes or No. It’s that simple.
