Good Morning – August 17, 2021

Good morning! Happy Rainy Tuesday. ☔

As Petula Clark sings, it’s a sign of the times.

A few drops of rain 💧 and 64 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. The dew point is 62 degrees. You better bring your umbrella today ☔. The skies will clear Friday around 10 am.

It’s just a rather damp and cloudy Tuesday. The air is heavy and damp and stale, tasting like wood smoke and hay as I go for my morning walk 🚶🏻 before taking a shower 🚿 and hurrying off to the bus 🚍. My goal is to be on time ⌚ for work today, unlike well yesterday. What can I say, it’s summer and things are pretty quiet right now in the office. 🏢

But it’s pay day, which is good because my bank account 🏦 looks rather sad. But it’s a three paycheck month, although that third check won’t come before the rent is due, but I’m hoping not to dip into the rainy day until September. 💵 With interest rates so low at the bank, who can help but live paycheck to paycheck, investing and saving most of it.
