Delmar, New York

Delmar is a hamlet in the Town of Bethlehem, in Albany County, New York, United States. It is a suburb of the neighboring city of Albany. The community is bisected by NY Route 443 (Delaware Avenue), a major thoroughfare, main street, and route to Albany.

A census-designated place (CDP) has been established since 1980 by the U.S. Census Bureau for tabulating the population of what the census has defined as the boundaries of the urbanized area in and around Delmar. The population was 8,292 at the 2000 census, but it was not included as a CDP in the 2010 census.

In 2005, CNN/Money Magazine named the Delmar ZIP Code (an area larger than the Delmar hamlet or CDP) as one of the “Best Places to Live” in America, rating it the 22nd best place to live among what it called “Great American Towns.

A bit drowsy this morning. I’m not sure why I’m tired, I got to bed at a reasonable hour and slept well. Even though vacation is a week and a half in the rear view mirror, I’m still getting used to getting up late.

The major disappointment of the week is the predicted weekend weather which will be mostly cloudy with times of heavy downpours. We need the rain but it kind of sucks to say the least. It annoys me as it seems like summer is rapidly fading in the rear view mirror.

Today in 1974, Richard Nixon resigns as president putting the long national nightmare known as Watergate to bed. Gerald Ford, our nation’s only unelected president would serve the remaining term. He would be defeated by Jimmy Carter in the election of 1976.

Happy Birthday to Smokey the Bear. Today in 1944, theΒ United States Forest Service and the Wartime Advertising Council release posters featuringΒ Smokey BearΒ for the first time. Be careful what you’re burning out there, so you don’t piss off Pete Grannis’ gestapo and the liberals who hate all things fun.
