Good morning, Happy Monday. Currently 74 degrees and partly cloudy. Dewpoint seems stuck at 64 degrees, but clearing is expected later with thunderstorms possible, a high of 83 degrees. The midpoint of the day is 12:57 PM and the sunset is at 7:43 PM with civil twilight around 8:15 PM.

At the 9 o’clock hour this evening look for 78 degrees and pleasant conditions. The dewpoint is expected to drop and with mostly clear skies the moon should be two thirds illuminated until a little before 1 AM. At sunset the moon should be almost due south or a little to the south west.

Off to work on this Monday morning. As I noted earlier one of the route 18 buses is dead on Cherry Ave but that didn’t effect my bus much. I caught the later bus as I missed the earlier bus. That’s fine, because at this point I can’t take an hour lunch out walking with my sprained ankle.

Not sure if I will drive down to the park tonight or head out to Hudson River to do some fishing. The sun is setting earlier every night nowadays. I would like to get out and enjoy the pleasant weather, even if I can’t walk down to the park at this point. By the time I get the boot off my foot, it will be too dark to go to the park in evening after work, so I’ll have to revert going down to the library. But at least while it’s still nice, I can sit outside on the bench and play on my laptop there.
