Roll the dice again

Air temperature 66 F, wind near calm, fog at the airport and partly cloudy here. AQI 32, in the green, so I have ambitions to bike across town and back before the heat slams down. Ambition should be made of sterner stuff?

Wednesday roadkill report

One fairly fresh skunk flattened in the road at about mile 11 of my ride. Also, couple of gray squirrels dead in disarray.

Nothing new in the midsummer wildflowers, except probably a different species of goldenrod. City was in the process of mowing my bicycle botany, which makes things difficult.

Unknown species of Navy plane at the base, four engine turboprop P3 variant, with a flying-saucer radar bump in the underside of the fuselage and a ridge of fiberglass on the top for radio intercept.

Rode before the main heat, across town and back. 80 F when I got home. Did not die.

Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

I wonder how much social media contributes to global warming. After all, flatulence contains a fair amount of methane . . .
