Frosty

Air temperature 35 F, wind WSW about 5 mph, clear sky with waning moon for the newspaper walk. Frosted roofs and cars, thawing now.

Violence, including death, is the ultimate argument of governments everywhere.

Tradition!

We have a song sparrow claiming the top of the north spruce in our back yard. Again. We will grow tired of his song in the next few months.

Not optimal

Air temperature 50 F, wind gusting over 20 mph, but I put a fleece jacket on over my bike outfit and got out for a ride anyway. Cemetery pond ice-free with two mallards on patrol, cardinals and robins and song sparrows yammering. No roadkill, but a motel up by the golf course has vanished since I last took this route.

12 miles, 1:10
