Nonexistent man

Air temperature 57 F, wind northwest gusting to 20 mph, mostly cloudy. Wind is raising questions about bike ride prospects. Humans are raising questions about civilization prospects.

Never seen a "police riot" before? Short memories . . .

Sunday floral report

First Canada mayflower, just slipping in under the wire, first scentless chamomile, first yellow hawkweed. Apple trees dropping petals, as are some of the ornamental cherries and plums. Lilacs strong enough to smell from bicycle distance.

Minimal roadkill, one gray squirrel.

Still windy, curtailed my plans to just ride across to the airport/base. No peculiar paint jobs on the metal birds today. Couple of restaurants setting up for outdoor service, and a gym with alfresco socially-distanced class in the parking lot. Ride takes me over 200 miles for the year. Did not die.

16.37 miles, 1:27:43

Sorry, folks. All your social-consciousness can't shame me into sneering at the new spaceship.

Maine weather again

Running the air conditioner yesterday, frost advisories tonight. With a freeze warning up in the north country.

Space station glowing.
