Good evening! Cloudy and 69 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. The dew point is 62 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around noontime.

Another night 🌃 staying up too late as a night owl. 🦉 In part its my fault but it’s also been so hot and sticky in my apartment that it’s hard sleeping. I sat out back for a while but I miss having my truck in my normal parking 🅿 spot. I got to talk to my neighbor about the parking. I much prefer my other spot as I can plug in my phone into my truck and it gives me some privacy and solitude sitting out back.

All day I stayed home 🏡 which should make the COVID-19 internet uncle police 🚨 happy, although what they mostly get their jollies off on these days is mask wearing. 😷 I don’t mind that much the rare times I go shopping to tie a bandana around my face. 🤠 I’m back to buying only one gallon of milk at a time because I probably shouldn’t be drinking so much of my favorite bovine beverage 🐮 and I don’t worry as much about shopping now that the pandemic is starting to slow a lot locally. As much as I want to move out west, for now it seems a lot more in control around here than out west.
