Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday!

Partly cloudy and 40 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. 🌥 Sun is starting to peak out a bit. Fog 🌫 around, especially in the city. There is a west breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Sunday around 7 pm. ☃️

I still haven’t turned the heat back on but I see the forecast for Monday with a high of 27, ♨ so I know what that means. I think it will be in the teens by morning. That said, later next week ☀ sun in temperatures in the fifties and sixties.

While yesterday was quite dreary ☔, I did manage to get in 13,000 steps between the before work walk 🚶 in the drizzle and an evening walk down at the park, doing lapses along the Nature Trail along the Phillipen Kill. 🦌 Saw several white tail and heard Nut Hatches I think 🐦 and certainly by the time I was heading back home I heard the spring peepers 🐸 quite happy with the somewhat mild conditions and the rain. No bats 🦇 around last night, too cold.

Got milk 🐮 before bed 🛏 and retired to my bed around eight 8⃣. Not sure if when the evenings get longer if I will stay up later, probably though especially when it’s hot inside and starry ✨ and relatively nice out back. There is no reason why I need to get up at five in the morning in the summer although it might be cooler out then for a morning walk before work.

One of the people we were interviewing yesterday listed R Studio 📊 as one of his skills on his resume. Apparently it’s a big thing in colleges these days, which is kind of neat 🎓 as I find it’s a very useful tool for analyzing data and making maps and graphs. 🗺 Well you know, I use it nearly every day to create blog content. For Census data and thematic maps and graphs its a wonderful tool. PANDAS and Python also gets a lot of use in college these days. I kind of wish I was younger and could have learned about such things in school.

I’m glad tomorrow is the weekend 😁 because it’s been a long weekend. Four day session days and while only one day I stayed late the endless Zoom meetings 📹 and interviews were tiresome. You want to do other things during Zoom but then they yell Ferris Buehler. 🎡 I should get a dress shirt or two tomorrow but I kind of don’t want to spend money on gas ⛽ and it might rain for walking in the Pine Bush. 🦋
