"content": {
"text": "On March 31, 2021, took another family drive. This one looping around the Ashokan Reservoir.\nThe route started out along State Road 55 past the Neversink Reservoir, and spurring off onto Route 55A, which goes along the other side of the Roundout Reservoir.\nSpurring onto Sundown Road, we headed into the Sundown Wild Forest. The 30,100-acre Sundown Wild Forest covers a large swath of the southeast Catskills, including several ridges and 10 mountains over 2,000 feet. We had planned to stop by the Peekamoose Blue Hole, but missed the turnoff and only saw it from a distance. It is a depression in the streambed rock of the Rondout Creek, a unique natural feature formed by sand and swirling gravel in an ancient whirlpool.\nThe route continues into the Slide Mountain Wilderness, which encompasses more than 47,500 acres and is the largest and most popular wilderness area in the Catskill Forest Preserve.\u00a0 This brought us into the Town of Olive, which is inside the Catskill Park. The Catskill Park is 700,000 acres, of which 287,000 acres are owned by the state as part of the Forest Preserve.\nHeading through forest, we finally reached state road 28A and the Ashokan Reservoir. The Reservior, part of the NYC water system, and is the city\u2019s deepest reservoir at 190 feet. It was built between 1907 and 1915.\nThe Ashokan Reservoir, of all the ones we\u2019ve visited in the last year, has the most walking and biking trails. This includes the 11.5 mile Ashokan Rail Trail. While I\u2019m always disappointed at the loss of rails, this was well executed.\nWe stopped to eat our lunch at the Woodstock Dike Trailhead. It was windy, and it is cold this year. But at some point in the future, we may return to walk the trail further.\nThe return trip looped around the remainder of the Reservoir, before cutting back to Accord, NY.\u00a0 When my mother was a child, she stayed at bungalow colonies in Accord.\nWe passed through Ellenville on Route 209 back to our starting point.",

I’m reorganizing my portfolio to pickup clients. I’d like to show my impact as a growth UX strategist who specializes in B2B+B2C lead generation. I also build brands and advise on product. Not sure if I want to run an agency, but I’m wondering if that’s the best way for me to go.

I read somewhere that toilet paper sales skyrocketed last year because people weren't going into the office, and therefore they needed more TP for their home supply. I wonder if commercial TP sales will now increase. Ode to toilet paper.

I love this so hard.
Going bananas over the hottest tech stack du jour is *not* a predictor of product success at all. In fact, I'd wager it's the opposite.
