Cloudy and 65 degrees. Later 51 degrees with rain showers. Surprisingly not that humid this evening despite the showers that are around tonight. Possibly thunderstorm later. Cloudy start to tomorrow with a breeze, warming up to a seasonable 61 with more sun later. Dawn at 5:29 AM and sunrise at 5:59. First sunrise of the year before 6 AM. Days are definitely getting longer. 13 hours and 45 minutes between sunrise and sunset.

I hope you had a good Earth Day, regardless of how clique it has become in recent years. I walked nearly five miles – walking is probably the single best thing you can do for the environment. When you walk you not only don’t burn fossil fuels, you improve your health and the health of the environment. People talk a lot about the impact of burning fossil fuels but it’s de minis compared to highway construction and use. Cars have an enormous impact on the environment. Walking around your town helps you understand it better.

Tomorrow I’m thinking about walking out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center, then driving down to the Hudson River and doing some fishing down at the river. I also got to head to store. Maybe wash the caked on mud off my truck. Start packing and planning for my trip.
