Been seeing the summer toys come out of garage, big loud horsepower totally out of place on 25 mph residential roads. I'm not hip enough to ID most of them, but Corvettes and Porsches for sure. Low-slung beasts that may still have trouble with road conditions.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Dear Leader continues to manipulate the stock market. Follow the money . . .

Air temperature 52 F, wind near calm, sunny. No geese visible at this moment. Should be able to get our foraging in. Walk later.

Six geese claiming their hereditary rights to the grass by the cemetery pond. No idea if they included our park geese. Also, mockingbird claiming his rights to the high ground.

Wild apple and cherry trees blooming outside of town. Wild mustard and buttercups adding yellow to the roadside dandelions.

Temperature got up over 60 F, sunny, light winds. Got out on the bike for the first time in weeks, upriver to the turn-around of my ignominious fall. Did not die.

Air temperature 49 F, wind west about 1 mph, high thin clouds. Catbird poking around out back while I was getting breakfast, might have been two. Not raining, warming up into the 60s after lunch, may try for a bike ride.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it's natural manure.

Lilacs blooming in the mist, honeysuckle flowers starting to open, our flowering crab out back is dropping petals. The azaleas are done, so no more hummingbird reports for a while. No cat friends on my morning walk.

Air temperature 46 F, wind northwest about 7 mph, cloudy. Weather radar shows rain still rotating through Downeast and Canada but none aimed at us personally. Should be able to get my walk in.

Got my walk in, minor amount of drizzle on the way home. No cat friends. Heard probable catbirds in several locations. Geese still in the middle of the park, keeping a wary eye on dog walkers in particular.

Air temperature 44 F, wind near calm, cloudy. Geese have returned to the park, posing a threat to civilization. Or to dog walkers. Roads are wet but no rain at the moment.

I do not exist.

The geese have vanished. But are they really gone, or just engaged stealth mode? You never see the one that gets you?

What algorithm gives me online ads for a brand of bourbon that feature exclusively Black people?

That pair of geese is back in the park. They are getting closer. As long as they stay on the other side of the street, I'm probably safe . . .

Air temperature 41 F, wind northeast at 13 mph gusting to 26, not raining at the moment. More rain off to the west, not aimed at us. Showers forecast off and on all day. Trash out, for the high point of the day so far. If it gets picked up, that will be another triumph.
