80 days until Ground Hog Day 🐿

For those who celebrate such a holiday. But there is no hope, there is always springtime and the mud and manure to look forward to. 💩 Trout fishing too. 🎣 Actually this week is going to be quite mild, but the sun sure sets early this far east with the time change, which I am refusing to adopt, although I doubt I’ll be showing up to work early an hour early on Monday. 😀 That said, it looks nice enough to walk down to the express bus and take it in on Monday, so regardless I’ll be in fairly early compared to the local. 🚌 Might need my sweater, though I got one of them out of my closet this morning.

Full five day work week this week, 💼 as I don’t have any days planned to be off at this point, but the following week is the Thanksgiving Holiday and Buy Nothing Day, although they don’t want to be too socialist where I work, they call it Thanksgiving Friday. 🇨🇳 I think it’s a good excuse to get out of town. 🏕

Friday night to start off Big Game Season in the SZ going to be one of the coldest so far in the Capital Region, ❄️ with temperatures as low as 26 degrees in the city, although I guess a week ago it was that cold. It was 14 degrees the first day I was in Pennsylvania a week ago, so it certainly can get pretty cold this time of year, especially in the mountains. But that’s to be expected with the second half of November upon us. My heat is on, and I’m resigned to spend more time indoors, although I probably will walk the Empire Plaza instead of in the concourse, as I don’t find walking with the muzzle on particularly pleasant.
