Air temperature 47 F, wind near calm, fair but hazy sky. Wind, temperature, and random scattered showers have thwarted my bike attempts for several days. Try again? Meanwhile, the National Weather Services reminds us that while air temperatures may reach into the 80s F over the next few days, the ocean and lakes remain damned cold.

First daisies and buttercups and, I think, phlox -- the latter not close enough to the road for positive ID. Spirea and rowan blooming. Oak trees dropping their catkins.

One mockingbird heard, the police station claimant. Also a catbird or possibly two.

NASA markings on a C-130 over at the base, landing as I crossed beyond the runway and then taxiing out for takeoff as I reached my water stop around the other side -- must have been topping off fuel. Also an anonymous twin-engine passenger jet, no registration numbers or logo. Probably a patient for the aircraft rehab company.

Only roadkill one measly gray squirrel, in a shadow on the roadway so I almost hit it myself.

Got out on the bike, temperature in the 60s F and little wind. Still had a detour out at the airport. Did not die.
