Albany is the capital city of the U.S. state of New York, the seat of Albany County, and the central city of New York’s Capital District. Roughly 135 miles (217 km) north of the City of New York, Albany sits on the west bank of the Hudson River, about 10 miles (16 km) south of its confluence with the Mohawk River. The population of the city was 97,856 at the time of the 2010 census.
Good evening! I think we made it over the Hump and I’m feeling less numb 🐪
Any camel dairyman will tell you, camels have a fast last letdown, the same as Wednesdays. Fast and furious.
Less cloudy than earlier and 79 degrees in Albany, NY. ⛅ They had a nice day in Western NY but cloudy here. 🤷🏻♂️ There is a east-southeast breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 59 degrees.
Heading home on the local bus 🚍. Need to make sure to remember to get off at the park and ride. 🚏 Left my truck there after the mind numbing experience at the dentist but truth be told I just didn’t have enough coffee ☕ this morning.
I will get groceries 🏪 at Hannaford before heading home. Just enough til the weekend. Friday I might go out to Schoharie or maybe first thing Saturday. I haven’t taken off Monday yet but I don’t think that will be a problem.
Continuing to play with PANDAS a bit but it’s such a great tool 🐼 I should have learned about years ago, saves so much time compared to spreadsheets. I am pretty looking forward to when the Census redistricting data and later the LATFOR data becomes publicly available as I should be able to really take advantage of the power of PANDAS with that data to make some really neat blog posts.
Here is a brief chart that shows the climate normals, sunset times, and length of day for next four months in the area around One Commerce Plaza downtown …
Good evening! I sue hope they bring back the express bus back soon. 🚌
Taking the local back and forth to work is more of a drag now that I’m working more in the office downtown. 🚏The local with the limited Corona schedule is crowded due to limited runs and it doesn’t leave until quite a bit after five, more like 5:20. It’s kind of obnoxious but what can a humble hick from the sticks like me do?
Mostly sunny and 77 degrees at the One Commerce Plaza, just waiting for the local home. 🚍 There is a west-northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 54 degrees. A pleasant evening for sure. Just listening to one of those Seeburg records as the bus slowly takes me home. 🎶 That said, traffic volumes are still quite low these days.
Probably going to go to the park 🏞 this evening with a book 📙 to read. I have that book I got out from the library about the history of heavy elements like uranium that I was reading but got set aside on summer vacation. Time isn’t as tight now for reading now that vacation is dun, and I am certainly a lot more sober as I don’t drink at home. 🍻
Still need to get the kayak 🛶 off my truck. I’ll do that after dinner. Tomorrow I will work from home 🏡 and go to the laundromat and store. 🛒 I have surprisingly less wash than you would think 👚 as I didn’t change that much on vacation and it was mostly mud caked shorts and t-shirts. Go sue me for being dirty on vacation, but it was my vacation and I damn do as I please.
I found out that I can replace my broken phone for $20 with the same model refurbished if I buy a month of service📱, so my plan is to tolerate my broken phone screen that I can’t always read for two more weeks then get the replacement. I figure the cracks 🤖 are just a reminder of the happy times on vacation. ☺ LOL. It’s also an excuse to use my phone less
I also learned that Straighttalk added 10 GB Hotspot to their $45 plan, so I once again will be able to connect using my laptop from home 🖥 which is nice when I need something quick off the internet and don’t want to walk to the library. Too bad that didn’t occur during the pandemic, could have saved some money while remote working. Come September no more phoning it in from the Adirondacks.
At sunset, look for partly cloudy skies 🌃 and temperatures around 71 degrees. The dew point will be 58 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 8 mph. At dusk you’ll see a nearly Full 🌝 Moon in the southeast (137°) at an altitude of 9° from the horizon, 229,736 miles away. 🚀 The best time to look at the stars is after 9:41 pm.
Tonight will have a pretty much Full 🌝 Moon with 98% illuminated. The moon will rise at 7:51 pm. The Buck 🦌 Moon is on Saturday, July 24.
