Good morning! Happy Thursday. Back in the cesspool for a few days. Work at home, no bonfires our back no paper plates to eat off or black flies to deal with. I so need to move back to the country and a life based on reality and not escape. Partly cloudy and 70 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a south breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 64 degrees.

It’s going to be a stay in town weekend 🏡 and I’m sure that will make the Uncle Police 🚨 in Facebook happy. But it’s going to be fairly cool and I need a break from camping. Does that not mean that next weekend I don’t decide to go north? Or to Schoharie County? Gawd, I don’t know. 🍓 It would be nice to get strawberries in Schoharie County if the farm stands are open.
