I walked down to the liburry and the line was insane so I headed home. I was inclined to vote against the library bond as it involved closing the Delaware Avenue entrance, years of construction, noise and dust and because I figured higher taxes would only further increase the rent.

Nice sunny but cold morning today. ☀️ I am catching the middle express bus 🚌 downtown and I’ll walk possibly on the Plaza before catching the earlier shuttle 🚀 over to the Enterprise. Making good progress on the database update 💾, I need to talk to the development team about creating a scriptable output to the report writer.

This weekend I’m staying in town 🔒 but I plan to search 🔎 more for the bike 🚲 lock early Saturday morning. Go for a good ride and maybe work on some code. 🖥️ Then go out and see the folks 👨‍👨‍👦 on Sunday. I might take off the second half of the week to do something fun out of the second half of the week. Maybe the Adirondacks or the Catskills or a few nights in Rennselaerville. Who knows. If I don’t find the bike lock, I will get an ordinary security cable and lock – I don’t have to worry as much as the bike is now a year and a half old and I don’t leave it parked 🅿️ downtown as much. Still annoyed as it’s not the first time it’s bounced off the bike but I always quickly noticed it and grabbed it in the past.

I tell you that I wasn’t at all disappointed 😥 about the library bond failing. I would be so inconvenienced by the construction 🏗️ and loosing easy access via Delaware. I’m sure the library board will come up with a new scaled back Paygo project like they did about twenty years ago to keep the library up to date. 📚 I still really like the library and I use it regularly – primarily for the Wi-Fi but the proposal wasn’t right. Ever since the dust up with Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace ☮️ over use of the community room for a controversial pro Palastine speaker, I’ve been no fan of the library board.
