Tuesday - It finally feels like summer!

The weather got warm enough to go around in shorts and a tee shirt. I had to adjust the push lawn mower we use - my property is on steep hill with terraces and dragging a heavy power mower for the amount of lawn I've got is more work than using an efficient reel mower. Ours wasn't cutting right but it was easy enough to diagnose: the blades weren't making enough contact with the base. A quarter turn of the adjustment screws and everything was fine again.

Westchester County and the other counties of the Mid Hudson Region are beginning to reopen tomorrow! This is big news. It's phase one, but you have to start somewhere. I am itching for an opportunity to go back into the city, for a chance to enjoy a meal in a diner or restaurant with my wife and friends, and browse inside a bookstore. It's going to happen soon, even as we adjust to the new normal.

I am very disappointed in the Trump's administration's wishy washy, seesawing way of dealing with this crisis. It is said leadership comes from the top, and the top here was too busy rationalizing, justifying and blaming others for decisions he made. Sad.

Photos today were taken last year in the late spring and early summer of the people working in a couple of the food trucks that make lunch in Manhattan interesting, plus one of an excited customer.

The first batch was taken at a "traditional" Chinese truck, Fa Fu, the second group at a truck serving quick French food, Paris on Wheels.

Whether you like the food or not, that's a matter of taste. I like the people who take care of us hungry New Yorkers, and I hope all of them are well.
