Good evening! Mostly clear and 58 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a north breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. A bit chilly this evening.
So today I pretty much stayed close to home. 🐦 Did some bird watching and nature walking at Five Rivers Environmental Education Center and worked on my laptop a bit uploading the fixes to the blog. Got groceries at the sprawling Shop Rite – they have a lot more choices and different things that Aldi buy its so much more walking past crap you don’t want and navigating the aisles during a pandemic when you want to be in and out as fast as possible.
Been reading up and refreshing my memory on the money supply 💵 and the velocity of money. 📈 Basically the federal reserve is buying assets left and right to flood the market with money to keep interest rates low but because most wealthy people are just sticking the money in stocks and bonds its not causing much inflation right now. But in the future 🔮 that’s to be determined.
Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 44 degrees at 4am. 12 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around May 7th. North wind 5 to 8 mph becoming calm after midnight.
