Will it be a big celebration like 1976 or just a footnote in history?
America will have have been a country for a quarter of millennium, which both is very long time and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. πΊπΈ
For the under-informed, they call this season SUMMER !!
Then we continue to add daylight to evening each night until late June, usually around the 26th when both the morning and evening slowly starts to loose daylight as we start the long fade back to winter.

I was reading New York City is bringing back their workforce starting on May 1st. I probably should figure on being back in the office starting then too, and things getting closer back to normal. I guess I’m fine with that, it will be a much more normal summer I expect, and I am glad with that. I can get rid of hotspot Internet at home, no more fussing around in library parking lots and relying on solar to make it through a busy day at work. Piseco-Powley Road should be open from the south again this year, meaning many more weekends spent up at Potholers and also it looks like the Mine Kill Pool will be renovated and I will be able to swim there too.
While all the remote work was fun the year that was, I am the first admit it really sucked at Piseco-Powley Road was closed. Maybe it wasn’t all bad — for one the southern entrance being closed due to that bad October 2019 storm — probably kept rowdy crowds out that could of damaged things because of the long detour through Piseco. The woods was popular, and litter was a problem everywhere, just because the mauls and many less socially-distanced activities were not available this year. But I bet things will return a lot closer to normal this year.
