Tuesday roadkill report

Four 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.

Question regarding Global Warming

Is political rhetoric considered to be a greenhouse gas?
