Icky sticky

Air temperature 72 F, dew point 64, wind SW about 5 mph, hazy sky. Will depart on bike ride before we get worse.

Tuesday roadkill report

One fragmentary mammal near the cemetery pond, fur color says either muskrat, mink, or woodchuck. All are available. Also one porcupine at about mile 9.5, mostly intact.

First blue flag irises seen, roses in the bog, one patch of orange hawkweed, and the black locusts have started their campaign to suffocate all air-breathers.

Mid 70s F when I headed out on the bike, 84 F when I got home. Did not push for speed. Did not die.

15.27 miles, 1:18:53

I don't know which is worse, watching politics or watching people react to politics.
