Good evening. Currently 52 degrees under mostly clear skies. Some high clouds but not too dreary as the shadows hang low on the few evenings we still have sunlight – at least for a few minutes until 5:54 PM.

Tonight is going to have another beautiful moon lit evening with the October Hunting Moon remaining shining bright throughout the night. The temperature will be around 42 at 9 PM. Tomorrow will be rainy with strong winds but mild around 60 degrees.

After much time chewing over it, I bought the propane catalytic heater that I was looking at. I think especially on cold mornings it will make mornings much more pleasant. I can heat up a tent, lean-to, or even blow heat into my truck cap. I need to get a propane tank but I will stop at the local hardware store.

Traffic heading out of the city is moving slowly but I don’t see any reason why. I can’t imagine road construction will be going on much longer but still things are pretty much a mess. I’m starting to wonder if the I-787    construction will ever conclude. Freezing temperatures and southern zone hunting will bring it to an end sooner than later.

Doing some Google Maps of demographics in Rensselaer County and they will be posted tomorrow and on an ongoing basis. I am a big fan of Google Maps.
