Temp up near 70F today, light wind, blue sky -- Indian Summer. (First People's Summer? Native American Summer? Indigenous Inhabitant's Summer? I don't really see how a day like this could be considered an ethnic slur.) Whatever you call it, we've had our first frost so this meets the definition.

The leaves are advancing slowly, still less than half color here. I'll be driving 40-50 miles inland tomorrow and can update the Foliage Report then. Around this area, the season depends more on distance from the seashore and on altitude than mileage north.

Heron at the cemetery pond again when I rode past -- this one is a Great Blue Heron, not the egret I saw earlier or the possible Little Blue Heron of a couple of weeks ago. Bicycle ornithology is not an exact science.

15.3 miles, 1:05:30 -- ten miles short of 1400 for the year. Do I start aiming for 1500 miles? The weather could turn crappy any day now.
