Still dealing with really gross socks 🧦. I’m hopeful this time with soaking them they’ll get nice and clean. I will rinse them out come morning.

Got my new mask from Lynne Jackson. 😷 I will still wear the bandana when I’m out and about but when I’m working downtown it’s better to have something cooler and more comfortable.

Nice night for sitting out back. 🌌 Sure gets dark early this time of year and with the public library closed due to the pandemic I’ve not been spending my evenings down there with my laptop 💻and I’ve been going out earlier in the evening for my walk. 🚶🏻 That’s good as it means earlier to bed.

All day the skies were hazy from the western wildfires. 🔥 Just kind of a dull gray, like maybe on a hazy summer day or modestly cloudy day but not really dark.

Not a half bad Tuesday with lots of meetings and fun stuff to do. 🌲🌲🌲🌲 Hiked in the Pine Bush for a couple of hours including after dark and went to a socially distant outdoors meeting.

Been a little achy this evening. 😧 Not sure what the issue is but its not that bad. Feels a little like chronic Lyme a bit but maybe I’m just cranky that I’m back home. But I had that Pine Bush meeting to attend so that was good.

I’ve been staying up too late the past few nights 🛏, so after walking I decided to retire to bed. It’s been a fairly quiet work from home day but quite busy at the same time. I was surprised, despite staying up late yesterday, I got a pretty good night’s sleep yesterday. 💤

That gas leak at the plastics plant down the road was interesting. 💥☠️Never smelled any of the polystyrene that supposedly leaked out of the tanker train car. 🚂 Definitely can smell polystyrene, I know when you don’t have a hot fire it can be pungent. I thought about evacuating but I figured I’d just keep my bag handy because I didn’t want to leave for the Adirondacks or the Green Mountains in the rain. I always do wonder if I’ll ever need to evacuate – probably not as south breezes are pretty rare and the plant is a few miles away – but ABS plastic is pretty noxious even if it is common in a lot of electronics and automobiles. 🤖

I am thinking now off going out to the Green Mountains ⛰ for the foreseeable future 🔮 starting on Thursday after work and doing the remote work thing from Vermont during the long weekend and thereafter. Not sure how long I will stay, depends a lot on the weather – I need sun ☀ for the solar to work and how many Zoom Meetings I end up having. I was going to stay in town this weekend but the weather seems too nice to stay home. Later in September I’ll spend a few days up north, working from Spectulator I’m thinking. ⛺
