90 State Reflects on 80 State

While these modern buildings look quite hideous and demoralising in person, they do have the best reflections of surrounding buildings.

Friday February 11, 2011 — Albany, NY

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing! 🌑️

I’m old enough to remember when cold weather was a windchill advisory, but then the government decided being explicit was too confusing for our simple brains and we needed to be dazzled with more bullshit much like the blown engines the government is requiring on non-HD pickups.

As that Billy Preston song goes, it’s another zero degree morning but this morning with a good steady wind 🌬️ so I’ll be riding the bus to work with all the colored and poor people on the pogey but at least it will be warm when I’m looking at random videos of overly large, fuel drinking pickup trucks β›½ with the Godzilla engine. 🚍 Hopefully next week will be warm enough I can ride into work. 🚲 It’s going to be bad enough tomorrow when I ride to Wally World or if I’m not brave enough in the cold, down to Hannaford to get my weekly staple of apples 🍏 and random plastic crap for the landfill because I can’t have a fire πŸ”₯ because I don’t own a ginormous F-350 truck with a camper shell yet.

They fixed the bathroom 🚽 at work, so it no longer is gag worthy with sewer gas. πŸ‘ƒ That was good it was pretty awful by Wednesday when it finally got fixed, I think the last time was there to take a crap at eating all that fiber in my pancakes, πŸ’© I’d rather have been climbing in a silo full of rotten silage. It’s was so gross. But now it’s much fresher. πŸ₯ž 🍏 More homemade apple pancakes this morning with carrots. πŸ₯• Last night for my birthday πŸŽ‚ I had some of the kidney beans I cooked up yesterday morning, along with onions and the remaining chicken and rice soup and some cornmeal. Basic buck good.

Other then that it just was a Thursday. ❄️ Cold and I walked laps for a while in the Empire Plaza, πŸ‘£ before catching the local home. Just the usual homeless bums hanging around in the back hallways of the Plaza pushing wheelchairs and grocery carts full of random debris, and the bus was held up in traffic again both on the  way in and home. Had to sprint over to the shuttle πŸš€ but I made it in time. Today I might head in and catch the earlier bus just because I have a few things to get done and I assume I’ll have meetings in the afternoon downtown. Tomorrow, I need to finish figuring out what books I want on Hoopla to read in February, read up on new magazines. Maybe I’ll visit my parents this weekend, depends on the weather and their avaliablity. πŸ‘ͺ Other then that it’s just another winter weekend.
