Then access it at the store there phone app, sorted by aisle. How handy! And it gives you an idea what your price will be at the register when you go to check out. I am going to use that feature I think going forward, especially as Hannaford is likely the easiest grocery store to get to on my bike.

People with unhealthy diets shouldn’t be worrying about pesticides or organic food
Seriously all the evidence points to what kills people is the calories, saturated fats, empty carbohydrates and sugars. Americans who eat food aren’t dying from pesticides, chemicals or the lack of organic labels on their food.
There is very little evidence that processed foods makes people unhealthy, it’s not the chemicals but the underlying food is crap and nutrient poor, and the chemicals only make crappy food taste and look good even if it’s the most piss poor refined grains and fats with little nutrient value and loads of calories, sugars and fats that only serve to hold you over until your blood sugar collapses again.

How STRs changed the Adirondack housing landscape
I’m increasingly worried about the weekend forecast 🌦️
I mean it’s good that we are finally getting caught up on the rain and the mountains are starting to look super green again after last night’s rain. Still I wish it would stop and get hot out for the holiday weekend for swimming up at the Potholers. I guess every weekend can’t be beautiful.
Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Clearing skies to the north and 59 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. 🌥 There is a west breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 58 degrees. The skies will clear around 10 am.
This morning I have black beans simmering on the stove. 🍲 Out doing my morning walk 🚶, I got a fairly early start and I already plan to double check and make sure the beans are done before leaving for work. 🤯 I actually want those black beans for a cold lunch today, they are perfect 👌 with a good chopped red onion 🧅 like the type they have at salad 🥗 bars. Red Kidney beans are good but better hot, except for as more of a dessert or side mixed with a little pure maple 🍁 syrup. Yum. 10 ½ miles walked yesterday. 👣
Today will have a slight chance of showers before 8am. Partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 76 degrees at 5pm. Three degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around June 4th. Maximum dew point of 59 at 12pm. Northwest wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies. It was somewhat humid. The high last year was 82 degrees. The record high of 94 was set in 1892.
Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:56 pm with sun having an altitude of 70.6° from the due south horizon (-0.2° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 2.1 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:52 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (296°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-northwest (303°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 8:35 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 27 seconds with dusk around 9:08 pm, which is 29 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 9:54 pm. At sunset, look for partly cloudy skies 🌃 and temperatures around 69 degrees. The dew point will be 57 degrees. There will be a calm wind. Today will have 15 hours and 20 minutes of daytime, an increase of 33 seconds over yesterday.
Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌤, with a low of 53 degrees at 4am. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around June 1st. Maximum dew point of 57 at 6pm. Light and variable wind. In 2022, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 53 degrees. The record low of 39 occurred back in 1970.
On this day in 1966, the United States Supreme Court rules in Miranda v. Arizona that the police must inform suspects of their rights before questioning them. 👮 Also in 1970, “The Long and Winding Road” becomes The Beatles’ last U.S. number one song. 💿 And in 1977, Convicted Martin Luther King Jr. assassin James Earl Ray is recaptured after escaping from prison three days before.
Right now, a split verdict on the weekend. 😕 Saturday, a chance of showers between 8am and 2pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 74. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Maximum dew point of 58 at 10am. Sunday, a chance of showers. Mostly sunny, with a high near 78. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Maximum dew point of 60 at 7pm. For Juneteenth, scattered showers especially late, partly sunny looking at high of 78. Typical average high for the weekend is 80 degrees. Kind of a cool weekend ahead.
I am chewing over what the best days to head out of town. 🏕 I was originally planning on taking off Friday and Tuesday for the long weekend, as I want to get up to Piseco-Powley Road early enough to get the House Pond Campsite if at all possible. But now I hear a rumor that there may be session next week, so maybe I won’t be able to take off Tuesday. Thursday now looks better.
Looking ahead, next Tuesday is Primary Day 🗳️ when the sun will be setting at 8:38 pm with dusk at 9:11 pm. I’m not sure if that’s right, it might be the following week? Not sure but there is no Democratic Primary in my town so nothing for me to do except maybe make maps up after the Conservative Highway Superintendent primary results, although with such low turn out unlikely to be very interesting. On that day in 2022, we had mostly sunny and temperatures between 82 and 47 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 81 degrees. We hit a record high of 97 back in 1953.
Shit people say to you when you loose weight 🍏
The other day I was commiserating with another guy at work who has also lost quite a bit of weight in recent years. The thing is people have such negative stereotypes about people who choose healthier lifestyles, though they usually say it in the most backhanded ways.
- Oh, I see you have lost a lot of weight. Are you sick, dying of cancer, etc.
- People always comment about weight loss but never weight gain. In a lot of people’s minds, it’s just mean to tell somebody that they’ve gotten fat but loosing weight is a compliment in the sense have you ducking lost your mind.
- People, especially obese people are constantly sharing recipes and cooking techniques usually involving frying or including a few vegetables in lard, cheese or sugar. As apparently you just need a few good calorie dense recipes to cure your weight loss.
- People this idea that healthy food must taste disgusting and should be eaten in moderation. Sprinkle some kale on a plate next to a big greasy steak and top your mega sized ice cream with a cherry and you’ll have a healthy meal when the opposite is true. The steak is fine but two thirds of your plate should be greens. Ice cream should be about the blueberries or fruit up top, the actual portion of the ice cream small.
- Weight loss is all about moderation and portion control. Actually if you have to control portions of what you are eating it probably is not healthy food to start out with and shouldn’t be eating it or very little of it. But in general, the focus should be on nutritious and diverse vitamin and fiber rich food that fills you up quickly and doesn’t leave much room for junk food. It’s hard to over indulge in junk if you have a full stomach.
- It must be you are doing a lot of exercise. The thing is it’s so easy today to get cheap calories, fats and sugars that one can easily eat 1,500 calories in a meal which works out to be like 3 ½ hours worth of walking to burn off or 1½ hours of intensive cardiovascular exercise like weight lifting or running to burn off. It’s much easier to skip calories, it is really hard to burn them off with exercise.
- You’ve become a very picky eater, one who only eats nasty raw food that tastes like cardboard. Actually many raw or minimally cooked foods have a lot of naturally flavor and don’t require a ton of salt, fat and sugar to taste good. After a short while of eating healthy, diverse foods, you get to where you prefer it over the salt, sugar and fat encrusted foods that cover up the rich natural tastes.
- People are very worried about you needing new clothes when you loose weight. The thing is over time clothes wear out and the thing is if clothes are a bit loose fitting for a while it’s not the end of the world. Moreover it can be hard to keep weight off so rushing to buy smaller clothes is foolish. That said the baggy look, trying to hide the loose waistline and my much oversized boxers and undershirts do get me thinking about replacing them.
