Good Morning – September 8, 2021

Good morning! As the advertisement on the bus once said, Green Means Go! 🚦

That pre-pandanic advertising campaign seems so dated now. I expect the traffic to be worse today with the little kiddies back in school, although yesterday things were moving well. 🚸

Partly sunny and 62 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☀ There is a south breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 59 degrees.

So far traffic volumes even this morning aren’t that bad, 🚘 but things are starting to pick up as the eight 8⃣ o’clock hour approaches and we get into the bulk of the rush hour. Buses weren’t too crowded yesterday. 🚍 Out for the morning walk 🚶, it’s a pretty nice morning but more heat and humidity expected later with thunderstorms ⛈.

Despite the muzzles, 😷 things are getting back to the ordinary course of business 🏢 although we a disquieting silence because people, myself included, as people rather just make a phone call 📞 rather put the muzzle on an walk across the office. A year and half of remote work, means there is few paper 📄 forms or files 📂, everything is electronic.

I am going to probably run to the store today 🛒 and maybe get my flu shot although both might have to wait until Thursday as I have some other things to do tonight. I got the books returned yesterday. 📙 Then it will be the weekend before you know it.

I also need to order the jeans 👖 so I have enough clothes for next week, especially with things getting cooler now and working downtown – I can’t get away with muddy, stained jeans like I can over the Zoom when remote work 💻 was a thing.
