Better Help for Goat Farmers 🐐

I do give credit for the social media advertisers who do many different creatives to appeal to unique demographics. After days like yesterday in the office, I wish people would use more targeting. It’s a powerful thing.

Kind of dark and cloudy to start out the day, 🌅 but then again we are kind of into the meat of autumn within a week there being more night then day every day. Happens every autumn. Hopefully with the new windows upstairs things won’t be so drafty come winter, though that door downstairs is kind of a mess.

Last night was the hearing over the Comphrensive Plan in Guilderland, 🌲 and I was there again with Save the Pine Bush advocating for stronger protections for the Pine Bush. It was just another busy day in the office but I also got a few things posted to the blog and made some maps up. 🗺️ Got more GIS work to do for Save the Pine Bush some point today, though I think those projects should be relatively straightforward load of MapServer layers, though it looks like I am going to have to hand draw the zoning districts for the Village of Colonie, because we’ll, they don’t them have them loaded into a MapServer.

Today I am going to head in a bit early so I can get bananas 🍌 so I have something to snack on in the office, and will ride downtown on my bike to get to the Farmers Market and talk to the bank about adjusting my credit limit so I can in theory put my eye surgery next week on my card to get the points. 💵 If not it’s the end of world, I think the credits are only about $50 or less if I do it that way versus the expense of getting a bank check for a buck. 🚲 Riding in today, kind of sucked catching the local bus to work, I don’t know about this winter.

At some point soon I need to grocery shop 🛒 and maybe get to the laundromat and drive out to my parents house to check on the cat. 🐈 I was thinking about taking off Friday, I am undecided about that.  Need to decide today. Clams are cheap, so I could enjoy them along with sweet corn. 🌽 Things are so dry but there might be good color out in the hill towns due to autumn coming early with the dry conditions. 🍁 Need to be careful with fire, 🔥 no burn ban and things are still fairly green but things are dry too. Not April though for sure. I would bring extra water 💦 and keep the fire small. The following week I’ll be recovering from my eye surgery 👀 so I’ll be stuck at home.

So it was just kind of a long day yesterday, 💤 and by the time the hearing was done, I was completely exhausted. Really taking the local bus in and transferring to shuttle just makes the day so much longer and exhausting. I could drive in but it’s really not something I particularly enjoy. People were ribbing me about my office and big shots salary yesterday, 💵 but it’s not really like that with things so expensive these days. And then that difficult client with the targeting, 🎯 always wanting to do things district wide and upset when we pointed out they’re well over limit for the year. 🤷‍♂️ Difficult people are just difficult at times.
