On this day in 1967, the Newark Riots begin with over six days of rioting, looting, and destruction leaving 26 dead.💥 We really are fortunate that despite living troubled times, there has been no rioting in our cities.

Definitely going to be a nice day to be locked in a basement but hey you gotta pay the bills. 💰The weekend isn’t that far away although I will probably spend it in town as Saturday doesn’t look all that great and Sunday will be hot. I was thinking about getting a haircut before vacation in two weeks, 👨but I don’t have to stay in town next weekend to do that as I can always visit the barber before work some weekday.

There is a lot of traffic heading downtown this morning, 🚙🚓🚌🚒🚕🚗 But that’s fine as I got an early start and taking the express bus downtown.

I am definitely looking forward to vacation in the Finger Lakes in two and a half weeks. 😎 I’m hoping it’s fairly warm and sunny, as that’s the best weather for enjoying the gorges and swimming. Not sure if I’m going to spend the whole week in the Finger Lakes or will head further west for the second half of the week. I’m still chewing over that.

Of its decent weather next weekend, I might head back up to the Potholers and paddle Lily Lake. 🏊 I’m curious about how many of the campsites now have outhouses and if any of the sites have tables and fireplaces yet. Its cool about that rumor about the upgrades if it’s true. I’m a bit skeptical as they never finished the UMP.
