Good Evening – October 5, 2021
Good evening! Kind of a cloudy and damp evening. ☁️
But for the most part, the rain has let up and it’s just an occasional drizzle with clouds.
Cloudy and 60 degrees on CDTA Delmar Express Bus heading out to Delmar. ☁️ Calm wind. The dew point is 57 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 8 am.
I knew it would be a risk to take the express bus, especially without the driver that goes past my apartment, but I am hopeful that I will remain dry 🚶♀️walking home. It really is kind of a drag taking the local, even if it gets me home just about the same time as taking the express and walking the rest of the way home.
No big plans for the evening, 👩💻 although I’m planning to learn a bit more of the various matplotlib API and some of the image processing APIs avaliable in Python. I just want to be able to do more graphs and the alike.

Finger Lakes invasion of spotted lanternfly predicted | News | fltimes.com
GENEVA — The Finger Lakes may be invaded by the spotted lanternfly soon.
The insect is an invasive pest from Asia that feeds primarily on trees and a variety of plants, including grapevines, hops, maple, walnut and fruit trees. It arrived in Pennsylvania in 2014. They have spread to Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and now New York, starting on Long Island and in downstate areas.
They pose a risk to state agricultural and forest health, as they use their sucking mouth parts to feed on the sap of more than 70 plant species, making the plants vulnerable to disease and attacks from other insects. Officials worry that the spotted lanternfly will harm the state’s grape and apple crops.
