August personage

Air temperature 57 F, wind near calm, clear sky. Supposed to cloud up later, rain tonight. Bike ride possible.

Sunday floral report

Definite jewelweed today, lots of goldenrod and brown-eyed Susans, may have seen the first small white asters. Also lots of purple loosestrife, damned invasive alien. More thistles going to fluff. Also a couple of new patches of plastic flowers, usually meaning a fatal car accident at that point.

Minimal roadkill -- a couple of turtles bottom-side up, a gray squirrel, and the usual unidentified blood patches on the road.

Biked downriver to the next town, inland, and around to home again. Did not die.
