Good night, Irene ! Been listening to some dangerous music tonight ๐ถ, namely the Weavers. So dangerous it was black listed for nearly a decade. I don’t get involved in politics but I do like folk music and how naughty it can be when you really listen to the lyrics. ๐ Not that I’m ever naughty on this blog, or play the hillbilly on the internet that I’m not when I’m the stone cold sober all businessperson at work. ๐จโโ๏ธ But I still wear my cowboy ๐ค hat up at camp.

Good evening! Made it through another work week. Clouds and 36 degrees for the evening walk here in Delmar. โ๏ธ I was going to go down to the library but in the days of unlimited data on my phone and since the pandemic my habits have changed. I’d rather just do my walk ๐ถ and retire to bed ๐ early.
Truth is I’ve been listening to the Byrds Turn, Turn, Turn a lot today. ๐ธ I’m a bit saddened by the death of David Crosby but so died Chris Hillman or was it Roger McGuinn not all that long ago? They were the past generation but still a good song more than half a century later. We need more change and new ideas. Mr. Crosby was a character, Crosby Stills and Nash had some good songs and in many ways those album covers are life goals.

I don’t think it was a bad week ๐ข with memories of Madison County and the trip the was. Days go by quickly with things so busy. I’m glad I’ve remained healthy with so many out sick. Masks help as do avoiding the crowds. ๐ช After spending the weekend winter camping I truly did feel like a husky in the heat of the indoors. ๐ถ

Soundslike it will be a good day to hike out to Five Rivers. ๐ฆ Maybe a bit sloppy but if I stay on the reinforced trails I think ๐ค I should be good. Nice thing is now is with the days getting longer I have more time in the afternoon and the Fisher Trail with the sidewalks avoids the narrow shoulders at dusk.

Not a real soaking rain ๐ง๏ธ but I decided to skip the 6:45 am morning walk ๐ถ in favor of catching the earlier express bus ๐ downtown and walking inside the Concourse with the muzzle on. ๐ท Last night was also raining so I stayed home ๐ก but I got my steps ๐ฃ in earlier in the day.

I was hoping my December electric bill would be under $100 โก but ultimately it came out to be $101. I forget how cold it was right before Christmas and on the holiday, even though we had that week when I had the heat off. I’m trying to save where I can but it’s hard, especially with inflation and higher energy prices. I guess it’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but I hate to waste energy.

Martin Luther King Day looks to be another winner โ with a high around 38. Not bad for January at any rate. Still a few weeks off until January.
