Memorial Day Weekend Camping

I got here at 8:30 am on Friday to set up. Last designated campsite in the area. I was hoping to do all my work from my phone or laptop but I could only get my phone to work reliably here, ended up going to Speculator to work for several hours on the library Wi-Fi.

Honestly, I think some people cheated. Or they plan to leave on Sunday. It’s not like they have camping permits for more than 3 nights.

It’s hot, I’m tired. But it should be a nice weekend.

John Pruyn Library Petition

For about the past six months, I’ve been going to over to Albany Historian and activist John Wolcott’s house a few hours a week to go through his papers.

This 1965 letter/petition in opposition to the tearing down to John Pryun Library is fascinating — there were a dozen pages of signatures that go along with it.
