Priorities

It would appear, based on a valid statistical sampling, that 7% more Maine voters approve of highways and bridges than approve clean water.

(Both bond measures passed by large margins.)

Wednesday roadkill report

One flat turtle out on the road through the bog -- couldn't identify species.

Windy and gray this morning, temperature in the 50s F, but no threat of rain so I got my bike ride in.  More lupines, plus the rest of the roadside wildflowers and invasive aliens (purple loosestrife has not yet blossomed, so I can ignore it for now.)  Black locusts in heavy flower, almost rank with perfume.

Got caught behind a caravan of city Public Works trucks moving a shed on a flatbed, so my timing was shot to hell.  Such is life.  The exercise still counts.

And spotted an incongruous mallard drake on the grass under a bird feeder, out near the cemetery.  Ducks should stay close to water.
