Monday dawning fair

Air temperature 62 F, wind west about 5 mph, partly cloudy. The ship of state is still afloat. Or maybe it is the ship of fools. May get a bike ride in.

Monday floral report

Smartweed starting to bloom. No, it doesn't make you smarter if smoked or otherwise ingested. It makes your hands hurt if you pull it without gloves on. Also, more of that arrowhead flower in the bog.

No roadkill. Geese absent from the cemetery on my way out, but a couple-dozen by the pond when I came back. I presume they coordinate with the grounds crew.

Got out on the bike, not much wind and acceptable temperature. Did not die.

One of those giant dragonflies working our front yard again. Good to see our combat air patrol on guard.
