Less hot today, though that is a relative turn. Often late July into August is a sultry time of theyear and this is no exception.
Partly cloudy and 73 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌥 There is a south breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 68 degrees. The muggy weather ends Monday around 6 pm. 😓
Yesterday was a hot day ☀ though I missed the worse of it by going out walking 🚶 early and then staying in the office 🏢 late and going to bed early. 🛏 Getting up at five am and walking at six you miss the worse of the heat.
Tomorrow Red is getting dropped off at the shop. 🛻 Bracingmyself tofindout what is wrong with him though I think Steve does good work. I tell myself what’s the alternative? Throw the truck away or ignore the increasingly loud noise and have something break down on my vacation. 🏖 Dentist appointment too. Fun Friday ahead.
A little over a week from now ⛺ I will be on my way to the Finger Lakes. I know I’ve been studying the long range forecast and the 8-14 day outlook, realizing that far out I might as well just look at the climatic averages as so much can change weather wise by then. Outlook does point to continued warm but maybe more rain. ☔ I’m sure it will be dusty in the Finger Lakes.
FBI surveillance of people associated with the civil rights movement has come up on the show many times. Today, we’re going to talk about the history of the FBI, especially as it related to communism and “subversive threats,” and how that fed directly into COINTELPRO.
In part two of this topic, the show looks at some of the specifics of the COINTELPROs that targeted black liberation organizations and the New Left, as well as how these programs were finally exposed to the public.
I had heard a lot about COINTELPRO but didn’t know the history or legal rational of the FBI’s actions. After listening to these two podcast I feel a bit more informed and have more mixed thoughts about the program.

Out for my morning walk 🚶 before it gets too hot 🔥 right at six o’clock but it’s only a matter of time. Maybe 96 degrees later.
Last night 🌃 with the heat and humidity it was tough sleeping 😴 though I was pretty tired and got to bed 🛏 early after getting up early the previous day. Woke up at 4:30 when a pretty good thunderstorm ⛈ with some rain came crashing through.
Last week I broke one of my apartment keys 🗝 and went to Walmart and made several copies. I forgot how much nicer a fresh new key works in a lock. I’ve lived in the same apartment for fifteen years now and keys get bent up in your pocket.
Friday is my dentist appointment 🦷 for my teeth cleaning 🪥 and my service appointment for Big Red to deal with wheel clicking and squeaking. 🛻 I will drop Red off and catch the bus 🚍 to the dentist. Hopefully once Big Red is fixed it will be quieter, and it should be a nice week on vacation.
It’s really going to be nice to get out of town in a little over a week. 🏊♀️ This weekend with the heat would be nice but I don’t know if I will have my truck back yet, and with gas prices ⛽ I should really wait as next week is summer vacation. It will be nice a week from Friday, when I’m on that road heading west, making a b-line for the Finger Lakes, especially once I reach camp, get the campsite I want and crack open that first beer. 🍺

I guess summer has finally arrived. Folks forget how hot and humid summers can be in the Albany area. I know with remote work the past few years I certainly have. I do miss working from the Spectulator Library. Maybe in the autumn.
