Earlier today I did my net worth calculation 💵 and I am finally above water again as I’ve saved some more money and the markets have partially rebounded. 📊 That said, I’m looking at the market fundamentals and corporate profits and the inability of the fed to slow inflation much, I think it might be a another bad year in the market. But I guess I’m acquiring assets for less now that will grow.

Many would be surprised to know that as early as 1787, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson had discussed the possibility of a canal linking Lake Erie to the Ohio River as part of a national canal system.
In 1810, DeWitt Clinton was appointed to head the Erie Canal Commission, but was unsuccessful in forwarding the concept at that time. And two years later, with the country at war, the idea was put on the back burner.
After the war, the proposal again took root and construction began on the Erie Canal in 1817; it was finished Oct. 26, 1825. Two years later — with canal fever at its height — the idea of connecting the Erie Canal with Lake Ontario at Sodus Bay began to circulate. A preliminary survey connecting the Erie Canal at Galen with Sodus Bay was conducted, but nothing became of it.

It was raining ☔ out at six o’clock so I’m taking the earlier express bus 🚍 down from the Park and Ride and will walk 🚶 inside the Concourse before work. It looks like Saturday is going to be the challenging day to get in my steps especially if it rains most of the day rather than snow. I’ll do my best to keep up my progress though.

Walking 🚶 inside the the Plaza is fine but I’m hoping for some more sun ☀ by afternoon so I can walk outside maybe up to Washington Park 🏞 and get some fresh air. I probably could have walked outside this morning 🌅 but it’s always cold and windy 🌬️ on the Plaza whd this morning is just damp from the recent rain.

Yesterday was pretty much normal, 🤷♂️ quiet for a while at work then busy. I’m continuing to read 📖 and study up on machine learning. It’s in some ways a lot more boring 💤 than you might think but I’m leaning some interesting techniques for classifying data. I did enjoy the sun streaming into my office though in the morning. That won’t be the case today unfortunately.

Today in 1989, Twelve European Community nations agree to ban the production of all chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) 💢 by the end of the century. We’ve moved through a few generations of refrigerants now, with low global warming potential refrigerants the future. Believe it or not back in the day, CFCs were not regularly captured upon disposal, leaking the refrigerants into the atmosphere.
Right now, a split verdict on the weekend. 😕 Saturday, snow before 10am, then snow showers, possibly mixed with rain between 10am and 1pm, then rain showers likely after 1pm. High near 38.

Looking ahead, there are 8 weeks until Arbor Day 🌳 when the sun will be setting at 7:52 pm with dusk at 8:20 pm (Daylight Savings Time). Often I’m up in the Adirondacks that weekend but I’m thinking more Cazenovia for Easter Weekend. On that day in 2022, we had partly cloudy, rain showers and temperatures between 63 and 36 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 65 degrees. We hit a record high of 91 back in 1962.
