The nearness of rejection 👎👎🏻👎🏽

Out for a walk this morning at Five Rivers after a quick morning bike ride before the almost certain rain showers later today. Much rain, it’s too be seen but I needed a break from days spent in the wilderness plus we need some rain so it’s safer the next time I head up to the wilderness to have a fire.

Gray and kind of humid this morning out walking at Five Rivers. 🍁 The summer colors are fading fast as we get into the meat of September though some years Labor Day is later then today. But it’s been a cool and dry late summer in the Albany area and we are rapidly losing light in the evenings.

I was so upzst that my data request was denied yesterday 💾 but you have to ask. I get why it was exempt from disclosure but after such a successful run of getting data from state agencies and linking it in the system I was pretty disappointed. I shouldn’t be, you have to ask and if rejected walk on by and don’t linger. I want perfection but that never exists in the world. Maybe that’s why I am so afraid of Facebook dating. ☕ I need to ask potentially interesting girls to coffee house and if they’re interested spend $10 and if not move on to the next one. ♥️ I know I am not going win on everyone and maybe the one that says no never was right in the first place. I’ve done so many neat things with my agency since I took it over and people are noticing but changing slowly. 🐢 Government operates at government speed.

Last night I was at Five Rivers 🐸 after work at the Fisher Boulevard parcel until 7:15 pm with the early sunset 🌇 and not knowing how well charged the lights were on my bike. It was a pretty evening and the full 🌕 moon was impressive and I wish I had spent it in the wilderness 🏕️ but I need a break from the beer 🍻 and weed 🍀 in the woods as I’m getting a bit chubby though riding the bike 🚲 to work every day and not eating processed food 🍲 really helps but I want to get from that 215 lb in the scale ⚖️ back to below 200 lb which is much less than the 260 or 270 lb a few years ago.

I finished up Edward Abbey’s Monkey Works Gang 🛠️ audio book last night and promptly got out another Abbey book, Desert Solitaire. I have so many books 📚 to read though there are so many distractions at home. I don’t know. Maybe tomorrow I’ll find somewhere to hang a hammock and read 📖 for a while.
