I’ve started to dig into CDC death statistics. They make some pretty interesting maps. Suicide statistics are fascinating, especially how suicide is much more common in the western part of the United States and parts of the Bible belt, but rarer in Texas and parts of the deep south. A follow up map will have to look at the rate of firearm suicide versus non-firearm suicides in each county. With the gun debate this would be an interesting one. Then maybe look as the other fatal diseases like lung cancer. Interesting stuff.
Good evening! Partly cloudy and 82 degrees in Albany, NY. There is a northwest breeze at 15 mph. The dew point is a comfortable 40. Hardly a drop of humidity in the air.

On this day in 1970, Penn Central declares Section 7 bankruptcy , largest ever US corporate bankruptcy up to this date. Ultimately Congress would step in with government run Conrail which would later be re-privitized as a series of large regional railroads. Commercial rail has made a major comeback but Amtrak still seems to struggle especially in the rural west.
There are 8 weeks until Altamont Fair Opens when the sun will be setting at 7:54 pm with dusk at 8:24 pm. It will be here before you know it. Earlier sunsets but continued warmth. The average high temperature is 81 degrees, with a record high of 97 in 1936.
Still chewing over the weekend plans. It looks like it’s going to be hot, which screams Potholers in my book. I’m not sure, but I’m also interested in getting up to Stewart Landing and Sprite Creek / West Canada Lake to paddle and fish. Then again, both locations are close and doable. But then again, pool swimming at Mine Kill State Park and paddling the hydroelectric reservoir would be fun. I guess I will just watch the weather.
Enjoy your beautiful Tuesday!

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.

I wish we had better weather this past weekend, but so be it. There is still a lot of summer left to enjoy. I’m sure that there will be 90 degree, sunny weekends left to enjoy at the Potholers and state park pools. Next week most of state parks open for swimming.
I’m looking at heading up to Moose River Plains for Independence Day Weekend. Probably leave Thursday night or maybe early Friday. Depends on the work schedule. Also want to head to the Finger Lakes in mid July, so I can get my tan on at the Watkins Glen pool.
