Good morning! Happy Last Sunset After 8:30 PM 🌆! Five weeks to World Mosquito Day 🐞. You mean it’s not already mosquito day? More like horse fly day! Partly cloudy and 64 degrees in Delmar. ⛅ Calm wind. The dew point is 58 degrees. Enjoy the nice weather for now the humidity is going to climb throughout the day.

Caught the local bus into the office 🚍 mainly because I didn’t get moving really fast this morning. I also didn’t get to bed early enough. Tomorrow I’ll try to get an earlier start. I’ve just not been feeling all that great this morning. At least the bus is really cold.

Today will be partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 88 degrees at 4pm. Five degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 66 at 6pm. Hot and humid.

The high last year was 96 degrees. The record high of 97 was set in 1900.

This afternoon I’m heading over to John Wolcott house 📂 and then probably tomorrow night one more evening working on the Pine Bush 🌲project. I’m thinking again about leaving Friday night for vacation but I’ll probably leave from home after work as I don’t want the ice to melt before Sunday. I think it’s going to be one of those years that I use a lot of ice camping. ⛺

In 1956, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus closes its very last “Big Tent” show in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, due to changing economics all subsequent circus shows will be held in arenas. 🎪 Plus there was that big fire in Hartford Big Tent circus that didn’t sell the public on big tent circuses. 🔥 Now the only thing in tents is fireworks dealers and car dealers when their show rooms are being renovated. They probably use asbestos or nowadays DECA and similar less toxic chemicals in their tents.

A hot and humid weekend is coming up. ☀ Saturday, mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 93. Maximum dew point of 73 at 7am. Sunday, a chance of showers and thunderstorms.
