Good evening! I sue hope they bring back the express bus back soon. 🚌

Taking the local back and forth to work is more of a drag now that I’m working more in the office downtown. 🚏The local with the limited Corona schedule is crowded due to limited runs and it doesn’t leave until quite a bit after five, more like 5:20. It’s kind of obnoxious but what can a humble hick from the sticks like me do?

Mostly sunny and 77 degrees at the One Commerce Plaza, just waiting for the local home. 🚍 There is a west-northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 54 degrees. A pleasant evening for sure. Just listening to one of those Seeburg records as the bus slowly takes me home. 🎶 That said, traffic volumes are still quite low these days.

Probably going to go to the park 🏞 this evening with a book 📙 to read. I have that book I got out from the library about the history of heavy elements like uranium that I was reading but got set aside on summer vacation. Time isn’t as tight now for reading now that vacation is dun, and I am certainly a lot more sober as I don’t drink at home. 🍻

Still need to get the kayak 🛶 off my truck. I’ll do that after dinner. Tomorrow I will work from home 🏡 and go to the laundromat and store. 🛒 I have surprisingly less wash than you would think 👚 as I didn’t change that much on vacation and it was mostly mud caked shorts and t-shirts. Go sue me for being dirty on vacation, but it was my vacation and I damn do as I please.

I found out that I can replace my broken phone for $20 with the same model refurbished if I buy a month of service📱, so my plan is to tolerate my broken phone screen that I can’t always read for two more weeks then get the replacement. I figure the cracks 🤖 are just a reminder of the happy times on vacation. ☺ LOL. It’s also an excuse to use my phone less

I also learned that Straighttalk added 10 GB Hotspot to their $45 plan, so I once again will be able to connect using my laptop from home 🖥 which is nice when I need something quick off the internet and don’t want to walk to the library. Too bad that didn’t occur during the pandemic, could have saved some money while remote working. Come September no more phoning it in from the Adirondacks.
