People are already asking me what my plans are for the week. 😳 I’m like I have no idea what my week looks like at this point in the morning. ☕ Barely even had that first cup of coffee, I had to get milk 🥛 and then get the day underway. I’m just swamped these days.

I am already really missing the Finger Lakes 🐮, the earthy smell of silage, cows and fields with freshly applied manure after the second cutting. I like the small towns and some of the odd balls ⚽ you meet out there. Maybe not as wonderful as some other states but still spending time in the rural country is wonderful.

On this day in 1977, the Soviet icebreaker Arktika becomes the first surface ship to reach the North Pole. 🎅 Now with climate change that’s gotten a lot easier. 🍹And in 1982, the first Compact Discs (CDs) are released to the public in Germany. 💿 Such a throw back technology ⚙ now. I don’t know, I usually have all the music 🎶 I want on my laptop or can download it from YouTube .
