Second spring arrives

Or maybe third. Or fourth. Air temperature 30 F, wind near calm, clear sky. Supposed to get up near 60 F today, maybe 70s later in the week. Maybe time to dust off a bike and pump up the tires.

First bike ride of spring

Pumped up the mountain bike tires, not a trivial prelude, and did a short loop around the neighborhood. This was just waking up some muscles that have been atrophying since October. Did not die.

4 miles, 28 minutes, both approx.

Neighborhood news bits

Met up with Small Black Kitty again -- this time seemed to be waiting for me out by the sidewalk. Daffodils starting to bloom. Crew demolishing at least part of a blight-house that has been sold and may cease to offend. We are easily entertained.
