I wish more people would be more focused on making money and not their community.

I think people often seek out community and political involvement as an excuse to cover up their own personal failings.

Rather than focus on self improvement, the personal goal of too many becomes fighting for something that gives them indigestion on the evening news while eating dinner. The news might be a distraction but it’s not a way to self improvement. But making money is key to liberating oneself, actually making a better world for the oneself. Money is a means, it allows one to better support one’s needs and offers greater choices in lifestyle and where a person chooses to live.

Daily Update – May 16, 2022

Good morning! A Foggy Monday’s come back around again.

Seems like that happens every week. Just not every Monday is foggy but that’s what happens when the dew point is almost the temperature.

Foggy and 62 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌫 There is a south breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 61 degrees. The skies will clear around 8 am.

Out walking 🚶 at 6:15 this morning. I like doing my morning walk before breakfast 🥣 as there is less traffic and pollution around the high school 🚸 and it’s just a lot quieter.

Only three 3⃣ more weeks of session 🕴️so I will probably go back to riding the express bus 🚍 and doing my morning walk on the Plaza. Won’t be quite as early then. With over 50 Assembly primaries on June 28th, I just don’t see things dragging on much past the final scheduled day on June 2nd. I’d like to get out of town once things are a bit calmer at work, 💼 although this weekend wasn’t as bad as I had feared work wise. Maybe Memorial Day Weekend I can get out of town. I don’t know, it’s often really buggy and I’ll probably have work to do with the end of session.

My truck is due for an oil 🛢 change so I should make that appointment and also maybe have the tires rotated. 🛠 I drive so little these days it could wait but I want it done before I’m traveling. I used to change my own oil but it’s a hastle finding the oil and filter and doing the change myself. Plus I don’t have a lift or torque wrench it the desire to lift the 35 inch tires myself and I make good money 💵.

Hopefully in a few weeks it will be nice enough to get out of town ⛺ and I can enjoy floating in the tube on a lazy Saturday afternoon, taking off a Friday or Monday too. At least it looks like the Assembly primaries are going to remain in June so that’s nice.

I discovered that Google is a great place to discover new podcasts. 🎧 They seem to have a lot better suggestions than my podcast app has. Lately it just seems like there is less and less interesting podcast episodes out there and very little worth listening to on the radio 📻. I especially like to find good ones to listen to at camp but also at night 🌃 in bed.

Yesterday hiked Bennett Hill in the evening. 🐜 Mosquitoes are out now but not so bad. After the heat and humidity of late, things are really starting to green up in the hill towns. People got their big piles of brush, lumber and other burnable debris ready to go now thst May 15 has come and gone and bonfires 🔥 are somewhat lawful again.
