Another morning

Air temperature 55 F, dew point 54, calm, waning moon with scattered clouds. Bike ride soon.

Thursday roadkill report

At least three flat garter snakes on my route. Asphalt is *not* a good choice for your morning warm-up.

Not-roadkill, scared a chipmunk back into the weeds early in my ride. Cars go faster than me, rodent. Pay attention!

Red maples getting serious about this autumn thing out in the bog.

Got out on my bike, did not die.

Wide-range question per LBJ

With any number of politicians, you have to ask "Is he/she inside the tent pissing out, or outside the tent pissing in?"
