Possibly Friday

Air temperature 65 F, wind NW about 5 mph, fair sky with heavy dew. Bike ride after coffee.

Hurricane Isaias shows a projected track to straight up the Gulf of Maine and the Bay of Fundy next week as a tropical storm. This may affect bicycle mileage.

Friday floral report

May have seen the first asters, small and white and mixed in with a lot of other stuff. Cornflower and tansy and goldenrod and vetch. And more of the be-damned purple loosestrife.

No identifiable roadkill beyond a house mouse, but there was a blotch on the pavement where I have seen evidence of a raccoon crossing before. Or raccoons that failed to cross . . .

Light wind, still damp, got out on the bike. Got passed by a muscular guy with a lot of tattoos and a lot fewer decades. Did not die.

The An-225 is large.

Idiots on parade
