Long Drive To Campsite from Plains Rd
Been trying to figure out how to bypass Auburn and Skaneateles
Heading out to the Finger Lakes. But there is no easy or obvious way to bypass those towns.
Why Adopting a Rescue Dog Is So Hard Right Now
There is something odd about rescue dogs, or a market that values used and often damaged products over new products in form of bred dogs. Some of it has to be marketing -- the idea of your rescuing a cute dog from certain death at a kill shelter. As if dogs had emotions beyond what their natural biology tells them to do to meet their needs like food and shelter.
You have to wonder how much of the rescue business is a fraud -- if the value of rescue dog, especially boutique breeds, continues to rise, there is going to be unscrupulous breeders that are going to be selling dogs to rescue businesses as "rescued" even if the only place the dog was rescued from was on paper.

Weather Update – July 22, 2021
It looks a nice week for summer vacation 🏊🏻♂️
Anxious or not it’s going to happen. ⏳Clocks and time must move forward, even on hot summer days when time slows a bit as the power plants suffer from a bit of droop.
One more, admittedly nice day to be working in the office downtown 🏢 then Friday work from home and come five o’clock head west. It will be a nice week, I tell myself.
Looking forward to a nice trip heading west into ag country of the big MOO 🐮, Madison Oneida Otsego then the hills of Onondagas where they have the orchards and big pungent dairies, the traffic jams and yuppies of Skaneateles, redneck Auburn and the flatland of Montezuma and then south to the hills of Southern Finger Lakes where the acres of silage 🌽 for the dairy moos 🥛 and grapes 🍇 for the winos 🍷.
Saturday I will set up camp for the week 🏕 and Sunday I’m not really decided. If the weather isn’t super nice, I might stay close to camp, with a book, do some hiking and beer drinking. 🍺 Maybe I’ll have clams by then, just because that’s all I can think about these days. Better then other things though I guess.
