Thursday roadkill report

Squirrels and snakes.  Cue Indy Jones:  "Why does it always have to be squirrels and snakes?"

Warm and damp this morning, with temperatures again supposed to threaten records for the date.  We could call this Indian Summer, if we had already had a killing frost and if we dared use such ethnically-slurring titles in this Politically Correct day and age.  But no and no, so it isn't.

More leaves turning, more leaves dropping.  Also a carpet of tan needles developing under the white pines as they swap out the old inventory.

And Happy 50th Birthday to Sputnik 1!

When you say something in order to complain that you can't say it, you've just undercut your point pretty severely, because if you couldn't say it, you wouldn't be saying it. It's a linguistic cheap-shot. You can do better.
