Good evening on this remarkably autumn like afternoon. 🍂🎃🦌

Think of it as a preview of what is to come. Thursday through Sunday, the second half of my vacation is expected to be even colder. ❄ Okay, maybe no snow or hunting yet although one of the good ol boys is doing target 🎯 practice in their backyard in the distance.

Mostly sunny and 74 degrees at the Texas Hollow State Forest. There is a north-northwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 59 degrees.

This morning was kind of cloudy ⛅ and laid back. Remarkably cool day. I sort of had ambitious plans but I ended up starting a new book 📙 on the history of the heavy elements like uranium.

Been hiking the Finger Lakes Trail through Texas Hollow 🚶🏻 this afternoon. It’s kind of an interesting part of the trails, gives you a good preview of the surprisingly diverse woods you cs. find in the hills and the hollows of the Finger Lakes. 🏞 Great views from Carlie’s Road but the hike up from the depth of the hollow is steep.
