No sarcastic corvids

Second run at Winter Fitness (which, as all things seem to, requires some different muscles and joints than Summer Fitness, and yet enough of the same ones that I get tempted to overdoooooo...)

Snow and trail conditions nearly perfect out in the City Forest, so I stretched the ski run to three miles rather than my planned two.  Gliding through the velvet forest, a little fresh snow overnight, temperature in the lower teens F, I'm probably gonna pay for this tomorrow.

No ravens (or Ravens), but a flock of chickadees chattering back and forth.

About 3 miles, 48 minutes

For those of you who wax ecstatic over steampunk...
