jhetleyThe morning of flattened frogs...
Looks like last night's rain stirred up the local amphibians. Dozens of flat frogs on the asphalt, green frogs and leopard frogs and teeny-tiny wood frogs and the occasional behemoth of a bullfrog. Also considerable Eau de Skunk parfum in one area, but I didn't spot a corpse. Might just have been a shot across someone's bow.
I had to wait for the roads to dry, such drying as can occur with 90% humidity, and the air kept the drizzle feel to it so I didn't dare the full Sunday route I had planned. Biked upriver, turned inland, chickened out, and headed back via some hills to stir up at least _some_ cardio-vascular excitement. Brown-eyed susans blossoming in the fields, plus some pickerel weed in the wet areas. And purple loosestrife, dammit.
Been poking at SIGNATURES again, checking for other places where my non-PC Fat Wizard may have touched a modern nerve. Should get to the end of that this evening or tomorrow and print off a copy for Wife to scan, checking to see if I've totally ruined the thing.
