Jewel-weed blooming in the ditch along part of my route, joining the copious tansy and goldenrod. And purple loosestrife.
One flattened critter, I'm going to call it a red squirrel by size and tattered fur.
C5A taking off when I got over to the airport. No interesting metal birds on the ground.
Rode across town, icky sticky air temperature 83 F and dew point 72. Did not die.
