Good Evening – August 5, 2021

Good evening! I don’t know about you but I will sure be glad when the Cuomo death watch is over and the news cameras leave Albany. 📺

I hate having to hide from the cameras when I go for a, walk at lunch time 🚶🏻 as it seems like every spot around the Capitol and the Empire Plaza are filled with bored reporters 💤 just waiting for the news we have a new governor.

I really like the idea of chopping the balls ⚽ off all future governors, although I guess that will be less of a problem with the almost certain to be new governor in a few days. Most politicians are beyond needing to have children, and steers are far better behaved than bulls.

Bridge 🌉 to Delmar is open again. Not sure what the issue was with the morning commute, didn’t see a fire, maybe there was a crash or something. I got into the office 🏢 a few minutes late but it wasn’t a big deal.

Mostly cloudy and 79 degrees in Bethlehem, NY. ⛅ There is a north breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 61 degrees. Kind of a hot and gray summer day like so many are of late.

I was surprised that they had a big event at the town park 🏞 yesterday, but I found somewhere quiet to read but it sure gets dark early now. 📖 Really no reading after 8:30 PM outside without extra light at this point. I might go down there tonight as I figure it’s more likely to quiet tonight.

I decided against taking off Monday, in favor of taking off Thursday and Friday next week 🏊🏻‍♂️ and heading up to Piseco Powley Road. Next weekend looks to be better weather for the Potholers. This weekend I might go out to Schoharie for an overnight trip but I am not set on that either, especially if Saturday looks cloudy and Sunday stormy. And I’m just tired and broke from summer vacation. 🏖 But summer is fading away so quickly.
