Good morning! Day by Day. Happy first Wednesday of November 🦃

Day by day
Oh, Dear Lord
Three things I pray
To see thee more clearly
Love thee more dearly
Follow thee more nearly
Day by day

Partly sunny and 51 degrees in Bethlehem, NY. 🌞 There is a north-northwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 48 degrees.

It’s weird to be talking about the dew point or fifty degree weather in November 🌅 but it’s an extraordinarily nice morning that is only expected to get more pleasant as the week progresses into the weekend.

The Federal Reserve plans to meet today 💵 pushing up interest rate another three quarters point. The stock market was down in anticipation though is anybody really surprised? Hopefully they’ll break the back of old inflation but I’m not hopeful. It’s just so obnoxious how every week I invest money 💸 I watch as the balances go down even while the shares increase.

Gas prices are back above $4 a gallon ⛽ again locally as oil supplies continue to tighten. Natural gas and electricity prices are back up too, they were talking about it on the news 📰. I’m glad I fixed the air leaks around the door 🚪 and have the electric blanket to stay warm at night. And that it looks like at least a few more weeks until it gets cold ❄ out.

Veterans Day Weekend 🪖 I’d like to get away to Cazenovia but it depends on the weather. Rising gas prices might put a damper on that and how much groaning and creaking my old truck makes. 🛻 Then I might do some ski 🎿 and winter camping 🏕 trips to Rensselaerville State Forest or Cole Hill depending on how cold and snowy ☃ it is.
