It was a really hot day today. I managed to get a run in but by afternoon it was well into the 90s.… The road outside our house is getting increasingly busy as people go to swim in either the Winooski or Huntington… There were 25 cars there today On both sides of the road. People were parking in our neighbors yard

I spent the day puttering in my air-conditioned shop… Because it was too hot to go outside. Later this evening we headed up to Tim and jens for a socially distant cook out . I

We got to celebrate our dear friend Martha’s birthday !

We wanted to stretch the night out so that we could all see the comet… Before that showed up the firing range in Jericho gave us a display of aerial flares. We pretended they were for MARTHA’s birthday

About 10 o’clock it was dark enough to clearly see, Neil Waze… It was so cool. You could actually see it with your bare eyes as long as you didn’t stare at it directly. With telescopes it was pretty easy to see. Sorry I couldn’t get any pictures of that. But I did get a picture of us looking. I guess the flash this shot messed up everybody’s vision for a couple of minutes

It was so cool seeing something that until last March no one knew existed. It’s going to come back in about 7000 years so I figured this was as good a time as any to try to catch it.

More tomorrow. Stay cool everybody



Nite all, nite sam
