Storm Rolling In
Along the Black Creek
Spring morning along the Black Creek in Voorheesville.
Population within 30 Minutes of Downtown Albany
I was asked how many people live within 30 minutes of Downtown Albany. A few lines of tidycensus, and we're off to the races or at least our daily commute !

Got absolutely soaked on the ride home last night βοΈ
Didn’t see that popup thunderstorm cell on the radar on the way home and somewhere past the Interstate 787 overpass the skies just opened up and I got absolutely soaked.
Everything I had on my bicycle and back got absolutely soaked through π²ππ₯Ύ boots included. Ended up putting the boots in the oven then using my hair drier to dry them out which caused the glue on the soles to delaminate. I need to replace them soon – I’ve had them nearly a year and they are quite worn at this point. I was going to order them with the cell phone π± but I’m now putting that off.
Voted twice yesterday, π³οΈ first in the morning in the Democratic Primary using the Early Voting Ballot. Then in the evening in person using a paper ballot in person for the school board election. After getting home, I was tired and hot and after changing, retired to bed quite early — probably around 8 PM. Dinner wash fried zucchini.
Super excited about getting Part 3 of the Power Broker Audi Book from the library. ποΈ I’ve been waiting over a month to get the final volume of the book, which the entire Upper Hudson library system only has one copy of on Libby.
Dexter Lake Trail
Off of Sealy Road in Stratford (which is an alternative way to get to Piseco-Powley Road), there is Hall Road which is marked with a sign, which you can hike back along to a snowmobile trail that goes back 2.5 miles to Dexter Lake with a spur off to the south shore of Spectacle Lake. The trail is mostly flat, with modest up and down, and some wet spots especially in the spring time.
