Good evening! Partly clear and 30 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. There is a dusting of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 10 am. 🌡️
Busy day 💻and while I worked from home it still seemed like the time past quickly. 🕒 I thought I’d be very cranky with the lack of sleep I got last night 😵 but things turned out fine. I was glad to at least get outside for my evening walk. 🚶🏻 I sure hope midwinter I won’t be penned up for remote work – I like working downtown where I can go for a walk during lunch time.
Cold night tonight, going to feel more like Christmas Time 🎅🏿🎄 then late October. Than again, tomorrow is Halloween 🎃 and November the next day. Colder weather ain’t uncommon today.

I decided it’s cold enough tonight ❄ to warrant turning on the heat ♨ a bit before bed. Very damp outside, it would have been very cold in Brookfield and probably a lot of snow. 😨 I’m sure after walking 🚶🏻 tonight I made the right decision to stay home. 🎃 That said halloween camping under the full moon would have been fun. 👻

The moonlight is nice tonight 🌕 now that the clouds are parting with Halloween 🦇 Blue Moon. Anytime Halloween has a full moon by definition it’s a blue moon. But it was kind of damp while I was out my evening walk. 🚶🏻 I guess next to a fire 🔥 it wouldn’t be that bad but next weekend looks sunnier ☀ and warmer even if with the time change 🕒 the sun sets early. More time for cooking and hanging out by the fire. With the music 🎶 and lights I’ve never had an issue with a bear 🐻 at camp.

Massachusetts' initial pandemic response is considered to be among the best in the country.
Residents have been wearing masks and the state has collected COVID-19 data and launched one of the nation's first contact tracing programs. For months, the safety measures seemed to be working, but now, cases are on the rise once again.

The Stutz Blackhawk is an American ultra-luxury car manufactured from 1971 through 1987. Other than the name it bears no resemblance to the original Blackhawk (1929-1930). The Stutz Motor Company was revived in August 1968 by New York banker James O'Donnell. He joined forces with retired Chrysler stylist Virgil Exner who designed the new Blackhawk. Exner's design included a spare tire that protruded through the trunklid, a massive 'kidney' grille, and freestanding headlamps. The new Blackhawk was prototyped by Ghia in Italy at a cost of over US$300,000. To offer exclusivity and still allow easy servicing in the U.S. a custom built Italian body was added to a General Motors platform and engine. The Blackhawk debuted in January 1970 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. Prices ranged from US$22,500 to US$75,000. All early Blackhawks were coupes, but rare sedans were produced later.
