Good evening! Rain showers and 73 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a south-southwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 67 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 3 am.

I went to the Save the Pine Bush 🌲🌲🌲protest at the Guilderland Town Hall to protest the acceptance of the FEIS on building a large apartment complex and Costco in the Pine Bush. But it’s not over until it’s over but we as citizens can do our best to oppose it. Save the Pine Bush was never a popular organization but it has done amazing things to preserve the Pine Bush by being unpopular and getting the law enforced. 🏤

While not the nicest night ever, kind of damp 💧 and cloudy, I did go for a pleasant walk in the Pine Bush. 🚶I like walking in the Pine Bush after dark and tonight sure was a dark night. With the clouds ☁ I really needed a flashlight 🔦 which of course I left in the truck.

It was an good 👋 day at work, I’m excited about the new opportunities to come. 👔Making some good professional success towards a better tomorrow. Some day I’ll own that off grid property I want 🏡 and move out of my moldy apartment in the suburbs. Just takes time and commitment and my best effort to put my very best foot forward 👣 every day. Money saved today is more tomorrow. 💰 Every time I heard about my friends and colleagues moving out to the country 🐐, I get so jealous but I look forward to the days to come, hopefully not that far in the future 🔮.

In four weeks on August 26 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (284°) at 7:39 pm,🌄 which is 39 minutes and 22 seconds earlier then tonight.
