Tuesday roadkill report
Jul. 8th, 2008 10:10 amFour gray squirrels in various stages of flatness, snowshoe rabbit/varying hare, domestic chicken. I believe the latter was a white leghorn, but variety remains questionable. I am glad to see the roadkill count picking up -- I was worried about the coyotes running low on natural food, and starting to prey on weak and aged bicyclists.
Got out before the conditions turned even worse -- temperature in the 80s F (28 C) and Air Quality Alert. This bronchial spasm brought to you by the states of Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey, with support from a cast of millions...
Anyway, conditions that even world-class athletes would find aggravating.
Yarrow is blooming, more varieties of wild roses, some yellow stuff that may be still another vetch (botany gets vague at 15 mph and a viewing distance of 10' or more), and still more of the damned purple loosestrife. This is the way the world will end, not with a bang but invasive species.
