Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 68 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a south-southeast breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 62 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 6 pm.
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. ⛺
