Well everybody’s dancin’ in a ring around the sun ☀

Not that one is going to see much of the sun the coming day or so, but the weekend forecast has improved significantly as the dire emergency hurricane is expected to come and go this evening into Friday evening. Friday evening will probably be too much shit to head out of town, but maybe I can go to Thacher Park on Saturday’s nature bus and or spend Saturday evening in the wilderness.

Up at a little after 5 AM this morning, frying up a big pan of onions, summer squash and eggs with some cornmeal and tumeric. 🍳 Seems like a good way to start out the morning. Heading in early this morning as I have meetings downtown mid-day and I need to make sure I get my legislative hours in if possible. Plus I have a lot of projects on my desk that need to get done including figuring out who I’m going to hire or if I should interview more people. 🤝

Foggy morning for the ride in but rain later. ☔ Already packed my rain coat on my bike, but I’m hoping the rain holds off until at least 2 PM so I don’t get soaked on my way to downtown for the afternoon meeting. I’m sure in the evening though I’ll be busing it home, but so be it. At least I’ll be able to ride in during the morning.

Yesterday I got to the farmers market, which was nice. 🌽 Got some sweet corn, eggplantand peppers, and one of the former employees brought in some zucchuni and cucumbers 🥒 which I was enjoying last night. Plus it was a fun ride downtown, especially the ride from downtown, down the hill to Menands. 🚲 Visited the downtown office 🏢 for a while, caught up on happenings so I can better coordinate with my office in the suburbs.

Last night the bike 🚲 trail was so congested. It was crazy busy, like bumper to bumper with cyclists and walkers and dogs. No fun with so much congestion. I decided after I got home just to go to the Town Park 🏞.
