The town’s largest park is located on Elm Avenue, one-fourth mile south of the Delmar bypass (Route 32). The park includes a pool complex, tennis and basketball courts, pavilions, fitness trail, playing fields, volleyball courts, shuffleboard, a dog park, and a playground. The basketball courts and four tennis courts are lit at night beginning in late May until late October. Winter facilities include a large ice skating rink, sledding hill, cross country skiing, and an area for snowmobiling.
Good evening. 69 degrees and mostly cloudy. A nice evening, the spring peepers are out singing their songs. Wouldn’t have been a bad night to be out camping. I saw fireflies for the first time in the newly cut hay field when I went for my evening walk. Definitely a nice evening for sure.
Good evening. 67 degrees at the 11 o’clock hour. Mostly clear. Dew point is at 53, so not too sticky. Went down to the park for a while. Then to Walmart to pick up some cold cuts for lunch tomorrow, along with a headphone wire extension, so I can finish wiring up the PA speaker in my truck. The speaker seems pretty loud and fits perfectly behind the front bumper, above the skid plate.
I still got a lot of packing tomorrow. I also need to buy some groceries. But it should be a nice weekend. I am still considering whether to leave from work or take the bus home then get my truck. I’m a bit worried about leaving the truck out in the heat in the city and having the ice melt in the cooler or even worse, the propane leaking out of the escape valve and making everything stinky and a mess. The other concern I have is getting up to Kelly Stand Road early enough to get a decent campsite.
Sitting out back right now looking up at the moon and stars above. In the hour or so past dusk the temperature has dropped a bit, we are now down to 58 degrees. Still a quite pleasant evening. I hear deer crashing through the woods where the marshy, partially piped under Phillipin Kill runs. Not quite the wilderness but still some solitude out back.
I went down to the park for a while this evening after the town board meeting. Nice evening down at the park. The passed a resolution condemning the Pilgrim Pipeline and I had no problem speaking against that. I had no idea why I was invited to the meeting by my friend, but it was worthwhile. Passing a strong anti-Piligrim pipelines law with a lot of public support sends a message. A lot of municipalities have been voicing their opposition to this pipeline.
While I watched the PBS Newshour tonight, I on put together some more Google Maps. Tomorrow I’ll start featuring them. I made maps of farm wineries, median income of Pennsylvania, and one of income by block group in Clinton County. Should be real interesting to look at during the coming week. A week from Friday the local April unemployment numbers come out and they’ll be fun to map too.
Good evening. 57 degrees. Mostly cloudy. Rain by morning then blustery and a quick change over to blue skies. Nice weather expected from Sunday afternoon through Thursday. Good night.
After getting the new version of the blog up, I managed to break it. It worked perfectly for a while, but then I noticed my internal weather webpages weren’t working, in an enabling them I broke everything else. But now it’s up and working again — along with a half dozen other bug fixes and improvements I implemented this evening.
In case you aren’t on the blog, check out the fresh, very quick loading blog at andyarthur.org. It puts the stuff that 90% of people come for the blog up top. No links were broken, and actually, it automatically fixes a lot of mistyped and old URLs to the proper one with the updated code.
Currently as my internal weather station on the blog says, it’s 60 degrees and mostly cloudy down at the town park. Some blue skies up there in between the big rain clouds, but still pretty cloudy. Midday we had quite a bit of sun, but not so much now. The wind is picking up this evening and by late night it will be quite blustery. Now Mother’s Day doesn’t look as nice weather-wise but the work week looks quite warm and sunny. Not hot but typical warmth for the second week of May.
