Kind of a dark and dreary Tuesday in Albany. At 69 degrees and a dewpoint at the same level, we feel fairly warm. It will climb to 76 degrees by 1 PM and drop through the afternoon, hitting 64 by 7 PM and heading back to 70 by midnight.

I hope you brought a raincoat or umbrella to work for this afternoon. While this morning is largely rain free, showers are expected today and heavy rain around rush hour. Take it easy on afternoon commute as wet roads are slick roads.

And enjoy today’s warmth. Tomorrow early in the morning will be 70 but the approach of the front will bring an Arctic blast – not cold enough for frost much less snow but still chilly. The days are so short in the fall.

At one level some fall colors would be nice but then again fall colors mean the end of the green woods and soon the trees will be free of leaves. Hunting season opens up for more species but even that seems brief before winter takes over.

Good morning, Happy Friday! 58 degrees and sunny with some high clouds. Going to be another nice early autumn day, followed by a nice fall weekend. Looking forward to MooseFest this weekend and hopefully some really colorful leaves. Usually by this point they are at or even beyond peak color at Moose River Plains but this year has relatively warm.

Porch light worked well with turning on automatically at dusk. A simple little thing, but it sure beats coming home in the dark.

Continuing to work on planning my October trip. I didn’t think it was going to happen but now that I figured out a reasonable route, I think I can make it happen. Still a long trip down to West Virginia but I will avoid city traffic and break it down to reasonable sized increments.

Good morning. On this Tuesday morning we are up to 54 degrees with gloomy, cloudy skies that are often seen in the fall months around here. It was dark enough that at 8 AM the porch light now controlled by a darkness activated switch had turned on. By the 9 o’clock hour the switch had turned off the light.

Today is the last day of summer. Summer ended before beginning, as that trippy lyric from the 1960s used to say. Fall is a nice season but at times it can be so depressing with the grey skies and cooler weather. On nice days, fall is the nicest time of the year. At least I prefer the icky weather on days when I have to work. The good news is today is pay day is today, as I need the money to pay the rent and the bills.

Just another summer day, this September morning with temperatures climbing up to 76 as of 9 AM with weather rapidly heading up to 92 degrees.

The warm weather is not stopping the local schools from going back in session or the traffic from returning. I guess the traffic is little more than a minor annoyance, as I can play on my phone as the bus navigates the heavy city traffic. Cities are were the jobs are, and if I wasn’t decently well compensated for my time in Albany, I would be long gone from NY State.

Thursday is Primary Day. As I will probably one of three people who actually vote, I should probably think about voting. I don’t know much about the candidates although Dan McCoy keeps mailing me junk mail that doesn’t even burn particularly well. I have no idea on the local primaries and I don’t really care, because I feel like I barely even live in NY State anymore. That said, I do maintain an address in Delmar and I’d rather have my buff card reflect that I voted in the election, even if I ultimately just put a blank ballot in the SCAN-TRON machine.
