Alll right Albany (Sorry, capital district), it’s me & you for the next 16 miles.
Last time I was here this was a drug trap in an abandoned building. Now it’s got ironic art
Albany has always had a weird juxtaposition of historical (in various states of repair), & then modern corporate government bleh (functional yet soulless)
I am writing about people over 50. Making stuff more complex is “weightlifting bros”, back row very fit young men armed with tons of data & skepticism of health sciences forged from yrs of doing their own thing. They buttress anti vaccine crowd despite very different risk profile
(For those asking, no I myself won't be getting a booster. Since I got a rather un-fun, & rare, side effect from the original vaccine)
As someone who has literally been walking around country, I can tell you Virginia wasn’t a fluke. Unless something radically changes (mostly with a Covid crisis they can’t control), Dems gonna get crushed in 2022
Not sure there is really anything they can do about it though. 1/
It isn’t that anyone particularly loves GOP, they mostly don’t. It is that the country feels “off” & stuff feels “weird”. Again. Most of this is about a Covid crisis Biden pitched the electorate he was gonna get under control & return us to Normal. But normal hasn’t returned 2/
Also a lot of people jumped on team Biden because he wasn’t Trump. They never loved him, but he wasn’t Chaos, ranting, & volatility. He was a normal dude promising normal stuff. But That hasn’t, in their minds, materialized. Stuff is still crazy, weird, & wrong. 3/
I get the downtown renovation project (good!) has a bench every x feet requirement (also good!), but could you have thought a little more about placement. And maybe sat in them first
Current view is kinda nice because the idling garbage truck & F450 filling up, are gone
