Foggy fog again

Air temperature 46 F and dew point 44, wind near calm, patchy fog comes and goes. Clear now, half an hour ago I could just see across the street and into the park. Trash out, with the addition of a few sprigs of oak that were hanging down to head level due to acorn weight. May get a bike ride in this afternoon.

Friday late-season report

Roadside flowers down to assorted sizes and hues of asters, with occasional goldenrod for punctuation. Even most of the goldenrod has gone to seed. Phragmites seed-heads browning as they ripen, another invasive alien.

Most of the trees on this route haven't started to turn -- uplands are slower than the bog.

Roadkill limited to a couple of gray squirrels. Did smell skunk in a couple of locations, but no corpses.

Temperatures warmed up into the 60s F, not much wind. No interesting metal birds over at the visitors' parking on the base, but Blackhawks were shuttling in and out. Army Guard getting their hours in. As was I. Did not die.
