This is along the Erie Canalway Trail a little ways from Little Falls. It was used to load stone and gravel mined from the mountains to be hauled away on train cars.

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Next Monday is Memorial Day 🇺🇸. Mostly sunny and 49 degrees in Westerlo. ☀ There is a northwest breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. Going to be a beautiful spring day today. Sun came up and the battery voltage increased. A few hours from now I’m sure the accessory battery will be floating.

Going to be a beautiful day at work today, I’m sure I won’t need to turn on the lights when I get into the office. 🏢 I always like days when there is tons of sunlight flowing in the office. Might have to draw the curtains later on though once it starts to get hot. I expect all week that I will be working quite late but so be it. Except for Tuesday night it should be nice sitting out back each night especially no that I can use the lights whenever I need them.
Five work days, and it will be Memorial Day Weekend. I’m still watching the forecast to decide on my plans but the Southern Adirondacks and Vermont are on the short list. A lot depends on how busy I’ll be at work.
As previously noted, next Monday is Memorial Day 🇺🇸 when the sun will be setting at 8:23 pm with dusk at 8:57 pm. On that day in 2017, we had cloudy skies and temperatures between 74 and 60 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 73 degrees. We hit a record high of 93 back in 2016.
I often think for too long people have been kept in their comfort bubbles, unwilling to confront new ideas. But in an era of multiple crisis looming in our nation — climate change, energy security and overpopulation — I think new ideas are needed. I am not going to re-argue my previous essay, but I do think people should be respectful of my ideas not be afraid to look at how we could better protect individual freedom and manage our limited resources.
