Fog

Our continuing theme.  May turn into a steam-bath later.  Will attempt bike ride early.

Sunday roadkill report

Couple of porcupines -- one fresh, one a pile of quills on the pavement -- and several garter snakes.  Dead mammals were both within the first five miles of the route.  Rest of pavement bare.

(Note to skeptics: roadkill survey does actually serve a purpose.  This provides Wife, and through her the Nature Center, a rough scan of the wildlife population dynamics.  Like, skunks aren't getting any smarter.  If I see fewer of them dead on the road one year, the population is probably down.)

Fog lifting when I got out on the bike, temperature in the mid 60s F.  Clear sky and hot sun by the time I got back, temperature near 80.  Headed out across the river and into the hills (I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my sweat . . .), thence upriver to the next bridge and homeward bound.  Not-roadkill, one immature bald eagle soaring and flapping along.  Wonder if that is the same one I saw yesterday, checking out the music festival for potential prey . . .

41.53 miles, 3:17:02

This brings my total to over 1000 miles for the year.
