Good evening! Rain showers and 60 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a south-southwest breeze at 8 mph. . The dew point is 52 degrees.
Kind of a rainy evening but earlier on it was clear and I was able to go for my evening walk . That’s good as with the weather tomorrow I’ll probably be stuck home and not be able to do my walk. I sat out back for a while but I’m pretty tired for some reason and I’m laying in bed .
For a while I was feeling a bit achy and after going to the library to work for a while went home and took my temperature and I was 98.6 degrees. Every little sniffle and I’m sure I have COVID-19. But even when you’re socially isolated there are still allergies and I’m getting ols to boot.
That said, it was a delightful afternoon working down at the park bench at library. I miss going down to the library and working outside. I usually just stay in my truck down there because it’s safer with Coronavirus but the danger of sitting on an outdoor park bench is pretty low especially on a sunny and breezy day like today was until the rain came through late.

I am concerned that I had left my USB hub and Bluetooth adapter either down at the library or it fell out of my bag. I’ve been looking around, I’m hoping I’ll find it inside as with the rain I’m sure it will be destroyed. That said, those little Bluetooth adapters I get from China on AliExpress are only a couple of dollars.

It’s hard to argue against a phrase like “save the children.” Which, presumably, is why QAnon uses it as a hashtag. The growing online conspiracy cult has co-opted the phrase to push falsehoods about pedophiles who run the world. But in promoting its radical worldview, QAnon has made life difficult for the organizations actually trying to save children. And the results could be putting kids at risk.
QAnon is a baseless conspiracy regardless of how deep you go, but its fixation on pedophilia is particularly unmoored. Devoted QAnon followers believe — to varying levels of detail — that there is a secret cabal of powerful elites who run an underground pedophilia ring, and that President Trump is currently working to bring these evildoers to justice. If you go all the way down the rabbit hole you’ll find theories about Bill Gates injecting tracking devices into every citizen, blood libel, devil worship and draining kids of a chemical compound called adrenochrome to become immortal. But the underlying connective tissue of QAnon is that bad people, mainly Democrats, are trafficking children and Trump is the only one who can stop them.
Often a more genuine measure of the philanthropic side of politicians is their work following terms in a major office. Three US presidents stand out among their peers for their charitable work both during and after their presidencies: Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. While there are certainly other presidents and politicians who are generous in their philanthropic work, these three offer an interesting array of causes, socio-economic climates, and timelines.
With less than three weeks to go until Election Day, Democrat Joe Biden has taken a double-digit lead over President Trump, according to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.
The former vice president leads Trump 54% to 43% among likely voters in the poll. It's the highest level of support Biden has achieved since the poll began testing the head-to-head matchup in February. Biden has never been below 50% in the question in the Marist poll, and Trump has never been above 44%.
Indian Head Mountain offers some of the best views in the mountains crossed by Devil's Path. Here to the south-east from Indian Head Mountain is the Overlook Mountain Firetower which overlooks the Hudson River in the distance.
I believe in science and statistical data. While neither science or statistics can tell us whether something is right or wrong, or definitively tell us causation in many cases, it can inform our decisions with facts.
