50/50

Well, we watched the shuttle/ISS arc across our northern sky last night, but didn't see any meteors.  Not sure whether the lack was due to our urban, light-polluted location, or the simple fact that we didn't want to stay out longer and feed mosquitoes...

Stiff and sore from the painting, will try to work it out for a bike ride this morning.

Sunday roadkill report

One flat muskrat near the airport marsh upriver.  Also enough squirrel and frog remains to make up the biomass of a real roadkill, maybe porcupine or raccoon...

Hauled my aging aching carcass out onto the bike, headed upriver and across (again walking the bike across the Bridge of Doom) and turned off into the hills to add a few miles.  Warm and humid, temperature about 80 F when I got back, but almost no wind so generally a positive experience.

More of the usual suspects in the wildflower department, plus mullein, jewelweed, and Wife informs me that some of the asters are actually fleabane.  Maybe we should plant some for the vagrant cats.

38.02 miles, 2:57:20

No meteors

Checked outside.  Mostly cloudy, with the occasional star peeking through.  Not worth feeding mosquitoes on the odd chance...
