Lethargic morning

Air temperature 54 F, wind near calm, cloudy with added Canadian smog. Waxing moon last night had a bit of yellowish haze. City crew mowing the park -- wonder how many times they'll get swallowed by the bog *this* week. May try to get a bike ride in.

Wednesday roadkill report

Dead raccoon by the roadside in the next town up, looked like an adult but not as big as they get. Other blood spots on the road in other areas but no corpse ID.

Not-roadkill, a couple of geese by the cemetery pond on my way back through, couple of geese complaining but not seen up at the golf course.

First roses and rhododendrons blooming, goats-beard, hobble-bush. Canada mayflower continuing on into June. Lupines getting serious.

Headed upriver on the bike, encountered some construction in passing but no major hangups. Did not die.

15.38 miles, 1:31:04

Well, dammit.

That mountain has killed before and will kill again . . .
