HIPPYVALLEY

As I got older I realized I don't want my property damaged and I don't need anymore injuries in life. ie slipping on ice etc.

Don't forget, only first two weeks of Feb are winter due to increasing sun angle.

This weather is fantastic and it has been a blessing to all of the restaurants with outdoor seating. Nice extended season to put a little money in the coffers before winter.

Bitcoin at 60k this morning. Once the FOMO bandwagon starts rolling, barring any black swans, it’s going to 80k, probably by Turkey Day. Thereafter I would anticipate a sizable pull back around the Holidays.

I thought maybe you lived in a barn, based on that much wood but realized my house is only 1500sf and we burn about 2 or so to heat, so the math works out.

As of now I'm in.

This is what’s going on in the Northeast and perhaps on the West Coast. I had a kid late in life but I know a lot of people my age you have their 20 something kids back at home living with them as a family unit. This allows them to only work part time and be more particular with what jobs they take. I also know younger folks who are becoming more creative with how they share house in apartment space to help reduce the rent. My neighbor is a sergeant on the Greenfield PD and he said they are having a terrible time finding officers to do traffic details. Even at the stunning hourly rates for details he said a lot of the younger cops are just not interested because, they are already happy with the amount of money they’re making and their lifestyle. I guess I don’t blame them. Anyway, he said they are begging retired officers around here to come back to part time detail duty because the situation is so bad.

Our cherry tomatoes in containers are still putting out fruit.

yeah, I'm camping with the Cub Scouts Sat night. Kev says we may get severe...

OK thanks. I wish we had another official site in central Franklin County. Orange is pretty much the very eastern edge of the county. So no official sites W to E between Orange and North Adams and then nothing N to S between Keane and Westfield.

Yup, 52 here for low. Not sure what average is for this area this time of year.

ya' except for a coastal out in la la land pretty dry on the GFS

What a day! Be nice to get some weekend weather like this.

Rooting for Chicago to beat Houston tonight.

Leftover from the Draconoid meteor shower. https://www.google.com/amp/s/in-the-sky.org/news.php%3famp=1&id=20211008_10_100

USGS says no earthquake. Weird. There hundreds of reports over a big area. A few I read, from people outdoors, referenced feeling a percussion wave. I’l guess meteor exploding.

If you scroll down, there are a bunch of peoples reports. Reported as a quake but lots of people reference the boom. https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/earthquakes/quake-info/6444637/quake-felt-Oct-10-2021-USA.html

It would have to be to have reports spread across such a wide area.

Yep, past few days I've really noticed some vivid colors with the maples.

Looks like we in for a dry and mild stretch. We take.

True but one massive oak that retains leaves forever and a some crappy Norway Maples that hopefully shed soon.

Maybe leaf blowing oak leaves Christmas week off of the frozen white landscape?

Embrace the warm, wonderful, boring weather. Just how I like my October’s.

Top 10er today.

Check out Slaid Cleaves. Great "underground country" singer and song writer.
