Depressing world

Air temperature 65 F, dew point 50, wind north about 5 mph, scattered clouds. Bike ride soon.

Thursday irritation report

White sweet clover and nightshade blooming, in addition to the usual suspects. Sumac berries turning red. Haying continues.

No identifiable roadkill beyond a couple of gray squirrels. Blood patches on the asphalt show that the cleanup crew covers my route more often than I do.

Got out on the bike, found a paving crew in possession of the cross-street at the end of our block. Time wasted waiting and tar on the bike tires, but did not die.
