A Backwards Camera in a Dark Room – Photographic Printing
I am old enough to remember this all from college photography. And how you stunk of developer after being in the photo lab. Digital photography is so much nicer to work with.

Panic over a cream cheese shortage started earlier this month when The New York Times reported that delis across the city were scrambling for schmear. And it grew last week when popular chain Junior's Cheesecake said it was periodically pausing production of its signature product, citing insufficient supply of the key ingredient.
Food distributors and company spokespeople say various factors are to blame, from a labor shortage and scarcity of packing supplies to sustained demand as a result of more people eating breakfast at home and baking with cream cheese (two particularly pandemic-friendly pastimes).

Weather Update – December 17, 2021
Sunny but the temperature will be dropping today 🌞
That wind won’t help much. And then snow tomorrow 🌨 though not that much is predicted. But it might change my plans for next week – I’m not sure if I will go out to Central NY with possible snow lingering through Sunday and I’m a bit concerned that the roads will be icy.
After such a mild week, ❄ next week looks to pretty cold. I have that week off but I’m undecided where I will go but I do want to get out of town for a few days. Maybe just the Adirondacks. Not totally sure. I could always stay home part of the week. I do have projects that I could work on at home although I have all winter to do them and come January I doubt I’ll be traveling much.
I think I will get propane tonight 🏮 and maybe some more under shirts but I think I will have enough clothes for camping if I do head out of town so I can probably skip the laundromat this week. I can reevaluate tomorrow and if I decide to leave Sunday pack on Saturday. I just want to see the final forecast before deciding.

Good Morning – December 17, 2021
Good morning! Happy Friday before Christmas! 🎅
Clear and 49 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌄 At some point the sun will rise. But it’s in no rush thus time of year. A bit breezy, ️16 mph breeze from the west-northwest 🌬 .
The wind makes it feel cooler than it is – was an extremely mild night for December. It’s not expected to last. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 1 am ☃️ with snow and ice 🌨 come Saturday.
I am up early this morning like most, and I walked down to the early express bus 🚍. The early express is running late again. But I should still have time to walk laps on the Plaza on this fairly mild morning.
Last work day for me before Christmas 🤶🏻 as I took off next week as the director had next week off. We are closing the office today 🏢 today at two but I’ll probably stay until 4 pm so I can just take the early express home. 🚍 I’d rather take the express home and I’m in no rush to get home. I have internet at work and my laptop 🖥 is there.
I saw they changed my phone plan 📱 so it’s now unlimited data, well 60 GB technically but that’s a lot of data to use on a phone. But they cut the hot spot to 5 GB but that’s fine as half the time I don’t have my laptop at home 🖥 and if remote work starts up, with the new plans they’re offering it’s just $10 extra for the 15 gb plan. That really is plenty especially if I reserve the hot spot for work and use the phone for all video.

Weather Update – December 16, 2021
After the rain last night, 63 degrees later. And sun! 😎
Just a one day break from winter, not that it’s been that cold this winter. Friday is going to be 52 degrees, which isn’t that bad then rain and snow for Saturday. I think I’ll probably stay in town on Saturday and then head out on Sunday. Not totally sure if it’s to Central NY then Finger Lakes, or directly that way or the Adirondacks, still considering my options though I want to get out of town part of the time I’m off next week. The cold and sunny come Monday. Yes, see the word cold!
