The madness plays on

Air temperature 51 F, wind south about 3 mph, mostly cloudy. Pair of herons flapping their slow way over the park early, necks curled back and legs trailing. Frogs endangered.

Wednesday roadkill report

Yes! Actual roadkill! Dead woodchuck in the middle of the road, about a mile into my ride. Positive ID because it seemed fresh.

First purple vetch blooms, what I think is blue-eyed grass, and swarms of the yellow hawkweed and buttercups. Also, heard what I am pretty sure was a catbird imitating a tree frog.

KC-135 doing patterns and a couple of C-17s in the visitors' parking lot over at the airport. Still have a detour there, not a good route to share with a UPS semi.

Warmish, little wind, got out on the bike. Did not die. Ride takes me over 200 miles for the year, a poor thing but mine own.

15.96 miles, 1:29:24

There are people in power who are prepared to burn the house down because they don't like what's for dinner.
