Good evening! Mostly clear and 68 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a northwest breeze at 13 mph. . The dew point is 58 degrees.
A fairly pleasant evening , I went down to the park for a while although I just watched that YouTube video I shared earlier and skipped reading for now. Came home, had some apple juice and laid back in bed for a while.
I thought it was a pretty good day but too many hours today in Zoom meetings. But so goes social distancing. It was warm but not that hot working in my truck. I could get internet at home but I really don’t want it. The nice short hair helped although in retrospect the next time I use the clippers I’m going to use a longer blade. It cut so much smoother and closer to the head then my dull and plugged up one. Based on the results I can’t imagine I’ll be going to the barber any time soon.

Looking forward to a cool day tomorrow. Ironically, I think I don’t have to go to the library tomorrow for the internet but I do plan to go for a night hike in the Pine Bush after the protest at the Guilderland Town Hall. Maybe I’ll sit out back and work there. I have a few projects on tap but neither involve much data so I can do them from home .

Striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis) are common urban fixtures in New England. Its not uncommon for these black sqand white balls of odorous fluff to be observed hunting around trash cans, dumpsters, apartment complexes, inner city alleyways and other human-inhabited areas in search of an easy meal.
When not taking full advantage of the byproducts created by humanity, skunks can commonly be seen foraging along suburban lawns and outer edges of rural sectors of the Northeast in search of grubs, worms, and other insects.
NSSF, the trade association for the firearm industry, updated retail survey-based estimates and concluded that nearly 5 million Americans purchased a firearm for the very first time in 2020. NSSF surveyed firearm retailers which reported that 40 percent of sales were conducted to purchasers who have never previously owned a firearm.
NSSF tracks the background checks associated with the sale of a firearm based on the FBI’s National Instant Background Check System (NICS). NSSF-adjusted NICS checks for January through July 2020 is a record 12.1 million, which is up 71.7 percent from the 7.1 million NSSF-adjusted NICS January through July 2019. This equates to nearly 5 million first-time gun owners in the first seven months of 2020.
