Thursday roadkill report

One flat squirrel up on the Kelly Road.  Also, apparently I should have listed my front tire as roadkill for the Tuesday ride -- had to replace the tube before heading out.  Classic rim-pinch puncture.  Likely culprit, a 1-1/2" asphalt cliff where the "Public Works" crew is prepping Chase Road for pavement.  I avoided it today...

Warm and a bit windy, mixed clouds and sun, a front due through this afternoon and overnight.  Asters are getting serious about blooming, and the thistle seed pods are bursting open -- our goldfinches had better get to work on nesting.  They nest late, to hit the ripening seeds.

15.28 miles, 1:06:23

This brings me to a little over 800 miles for the season, at least 200 behind where I should be.  Weather, family turmoil, and bad health.

Bombardment over?

We had an enthusiastic little line of thunderstorms run through.  I think the worst of them passed south of us, but enough Sturm und Drang spilled over to satisfy me.

Now the moon is peeking out from layers of scudding clouds.

In case anyone is keeping score...
