Daily Update – September 26, 2022

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. 🌫

Kind of a gray and foggy day out today. Very quiet around the High School this morning as it’s closed for Yon Kippur. I don’t know much about that holiday except for it being the start of the 1973 fuel crisis which changed everything in America until it didn’t.

Mostly cloudy and 55 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. The dew point is 54 degrees. The skies will clear around 6 pm.

Last week I didn’t do a very good job at getting my steps 👣 in. The mornings are so dark now and it was gray and rainy and I’ve been working late in the office 🏢 that is full of candy 🍬 and unhealthy stuff. Taking the earlier express bus 🚍 for walking 🚶 doesn’t work because it’s late so often and walking the Plaza is gross with all the homeless people who are kind of taking over the Plaza.

I am going to call this morning 🛠 about having an appointment made for Big Red to be repaired. 🛻 I’ve been noticing that something is loose in the suspension and I don’t want to find out what it is when I’m somehere in the wilderness 🌲 or a wheel falls off driving down the road at highway speed. Red turns eleven in two weeks but I don’t want to get a new vehicle before winter or until prices come down. Plus I don’t really know what I want to do after Red. Electric? Small sedan or truck?

My pantry is well stocked 🛒 so I’m good on that for now and I’m not sure if it’s going to be a nice weekend with the hurricane 🌀 heading up this way. I can always go for a walk to Five Rivers. I was kind of hoping to get north for the fall foliage 🍁 but it’s so late so I may wait. The best foliage locally is still a few weeks off.

I watch the stock market and bond market and just have to sigh. 📉 The truth is that both lower stock prices and bonds are to be expected with the fed rate rising. It means I’m getting a better price on new investments and growth will be steeper after the recession. Inflation will slow, gas prices will drop.
