Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Five weeks to More Night then Day 🌌.

There is a south-southeast breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 60 degrees. The skies will clear around 9 am.

This is a pretty decent morning, I woke up fairly early after a good nights rest. After petting my neighbors dog, 🐩 walked down to the Park and RIde, and caught the express bus downtown. Traffic was fairly light today. Made good time into the office.

Tuesday at least at the close of business is pay day which is a good thing. 🤑While I don’t run my non interest bearing checking account as low as I once did I still don’t have a lot of money of extra since paying the rent and retiring the vacation debt. Not that I plan to spend much money this week, but at some point I will have to go shopping before going camping this next weekend.

Still don’t know if I will get Friday off, 🏕 but if I have Friday off I’ve decided to drive up and paddle Cedar River Flow then camp in the Plains, otherwise I will go up to Piseco-Powley Road on Friday and then down to Moss Island on Saturday. If Labor Day Weekend is nice I might head back up there again or maybe somewhere outside of Wells and Speculator.

On this day in 1959, United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower signs an executive order proclaiming Hawaii the 50th state of the union. 🗽 I guess that makes Barack Obama a US Citizen. End of debate on that one, although I am sure the current incumbent in the White House will not agree. After all the truth has different versions.

One month 📅 from now the Average High will be 70 🎑 when the sun will be setting at 6:53 pm with dusk at 7:21 pm. The record high is 98 in 1916.
