September 8, 2015 evening

With a dew point of 70 degrees and an air temperature of 76 degrees, the best way to describe tonight is unpleasant. Humid, nasty weather for sleeping. I would rate this summer evening as the most unpleasant weather all year for sleeping, this is the highest evening dew point of the year. The best we can hope for is 66 degrees by daybreak before we do it all over again tomorrow.

Good night, try to sleep well in this heat and humidity.

You Can’t Stop the Calender

The calender is a remarkable thing. It seems like things will never come to an end, until they come to an end. You climb and climb, and the hill always seems the steepest, until you reach the top, and then you realize your at the top, and rest of the way, you’ll be coasting down hill.

Trees Show Hints of Fall

It seemed like it would be forever until summer finally broke, but then it finally did. Then summer seemed endless, for such a precious short time, before succumbingΒ to Labor Day, and then eventually the cooler weather of fall. Before you know, the leaves will fall, and winter will creep on. November will come and go, and Christmas will fade into 2014.

Sun Beams

The endless cold season will return until April, then in May spring will break, and by June it will be summer — even in the Adirondacks. And we will just continue to go around once again.

It will, in the words of Phil Ochs just be just part of the race around the stars.

Enjoy the nice warm weather over the next few days, because before you know it, fall will be well underway.
