I told myself that I would head back early to camp 🌇

|

And here I am sitting at Stewart Park listening to Otis Redding waiting for the sunset. Maybe I won’t get up so early tomorrow morning. I’m so tired and a bit sunburnt though the protein from the hard boiled egg and a banana gave me some go. Going to be a good sunset tonight. Don’t have to stay up that late after I return to camp.

Income Inequality vs Property Crime

|
So I got this idea in my head that areas of New York State with a lot of property crime would be areas with a lot of wealth inequality -- some place like Westchester, Manhattan or Ithaca. After all, people in poverty might want to steal the color television from the mansion up the street. But comparing property rates to GINI indexes in New York, the correlation between wealth inequality and property seems fairly weak to say the least.
