Good evening! Rain showers and 48 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a west breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Saturday around 2 am and it will snow for a while. ☃️

Today was a modestly busy day at work 💼, I also worked down at the library parking lot for a bit. Got busy and didn’t have a chance really to research screen houses anymore. Hiked in the afternoon at Papscanee Nature Preserve and then got groceries at Aldi’s. I just like shopping 🏪 there during the pandemic as it’s fast in and out. They don’t have everything, I might do an online order at Wal-Mart if I can come up with $35 in things that I need.

While I was at the library there was a big protest past town hall about the quarantine business restrictions. ✊ It certainly was loud. 📢 Lots of horn honking. I think it’s good that people’s voices are being heard, it can’t only be the suits that are making all the decisions without the public’s voice being heard. 👓 Doctors and scientists know a lot but they can’t be the only voice heard from.
