Do I have a mind?

Air temperature 60 F, wind near calm, mostly cloudy. Trying to decide length of bike ride, given temperature projected to reach 80 F. Every so often I remind myself that I am old . . .

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. And yes, this applies to your party as well as that party over there.

Sunday floral/roadkill report

First Canada thistles blooming in town, bellflowers, Queen Anne's lace, and what was most likely the earliest purple loosestrife. Dammit. We also have the first bloom in our isolated day-lily patch, which seems to be the same variety of orange and just delayed by environmental conditions.

Dead skunk in the road, not middle, over by the old Bomarc site. Not-roadkill, killdeer in a parking lot near the airbase. Wasn't doing the call and wing-drag routine, so I'll assume the brood wasn't near enough to need defense.

Got out on the bike, just across town and by the airport, C-17 and KC-135 parked in the visitors' lot. Did not die.
