This shows an analysis of the maximum point of shadow at 2 PM from the Corning Tower in Downtown Albany. As one might guess, the shadow is much shorter in the summer due to the higher elevation of the sun. There are two separate sun paths, reflecting the later hour during daylight savings time in the summer.
It’s the rain and humidity for sure. More of a drizzle right now, but for a while it was a very intense rain.
Walk out of any doorway
Feel your way, feel your way like the day before
Maybe you’ll find direction
Around some corner where it’s been waiting to meet you
I can’t believe it was a week ago that I was at Cornell in the Finger Lakes. 🌼 The days of grass and grass puppies 🐮 are fading rapidly in memory. That was a pretty rainy day though not as rainy as today. I can listen to the Grateful Dead and ponder my indecisiveness as the days. No rain currently – I almost could have ridden in but Erie Boulevard will be a canal by evening if the weatherman is to be believed, though they keep stepping down the rain forecast. 🌧️
Last night I was tired 😴 and fell asleep 🛏 shortly after dinner of fried zucchini 🍆 and some oatmeal and cherries 🍒 and watching an interesting video on 555 timers. ⏰ I should get back into electronics again. Maybe it’s a good way to pass the winter, especially if I stay in my dumpy and drafty apartment for another year. I was going to read 📖 some of the numerous ebooks I have out from the library but that didn’t happen.
Walking 🚶 the Empire Plaza before catching the shuttle 🚀 up to Menands on this soon to be very rainy ☔ morning. It looks like the Finger Lakes will be getting particularly wet, so maybe it’s best I’m heading to the suburban office 🏢 and not out in the wilderness today. I need to bite the bullet and decide who I am going to hire today. I mean I’ve made up my mind but I’m not ready to admit I’ve decided. I also probably should reinstall Zillow and continue trying to figure out my housing situation. As I’m sure the nailing and jack hammering will be starting up extra early tomorrow next door after the rain day today. 🚧 And I’m watching the stock market continue to crap out 📉, which is chewing away at my assets but also should eventually help with housing and auto prices.
I’m undecided about the weekend. ☀ The weather has improved enormously since earlier in the week but tonight is going to be rather wet and stormy and nothing is packed. Tomorrow is the Nature Bus 🚍 out to Thacher Park. I could do that and then hammock camp sort of like three weeks ago. Or I could go out to Schoharie for an overnight of riding trail and swimming 🏊 at Mine Kill and floating in the tube ⭕ on the Schoharie Creek. Water levels might be very high, but next weekend looks bad in the long range forecast. But we are down to two more weeks left in August before Labor Day Weekend.
