First ox-eye daisies, purple vetch, red and white clover, hobblebush, and ragged-robin blooming. Also probable phlox, although that was ID'd at about 25 mph on a downhill.

Only roadkill was a possible rat. No metal avian report because the runway is closed for repaving.

Got out on the bike, across town and back, with a detour due to bridge repair that will last into July. Will be adjusting detour mileage with added loops on future outings. Did not die.

14.91 miles, 1:34:45

Air temperature 61 F, wind west about 5 mph, sunny. No ducks visible in the park. Should be able to get a bike ride in. Far behind . . .

Lore from the tribal elders, '60s era protests edition. Beware of provocateurs.

Been seeing black unmarked cop SUVs around town that don't match the make and model of our regular cop cars. And the county sheriff uses a different style, also. Maine is a border state . . .

Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again!

Air temperature 52 F, wind near calm, cloudy. Rain not supposed to kick in here until this afternoon. Foraging probable.

Current Mood: rushed

Don't think twice, it's all right.

Air temperature 56 F, light northwest breeze, fog at the airport. Sun on dewy grass here on the other side of town. Moderate air quality, AQI 70-- Canadian pollution. Appointments this morning to rate our aging eyes.

Lost in the noise . . .

Air temperature 58 F, wind north about 8 mph, sunny. Four mallards in the middle of the park. I don't think we have a pond out there, but it can't be ruled out . . .

Air quality "moderate" with AQI 97. This raises questions about a bike ride later.

It's time for another episode of America's favorite game show: Rotate! That! Mattress!

Edit: And returning contestant Socchan has done it again! The mattress has been rotated 180°, and the sheets changed at the same time. This time around, Socchan notably chose not to move the dresser at the foot of the bed, seeming to save some extra seconds in the final time and some overall effort. Will Socchan continue this gamble in upcoming appearances? Only time will tell!

Today, as in every episode, Socchan walks away with a mattress that has been slightly rejuvenated and whose lifespan has been extended just a bit longer, as well as the feeling of sleeping on fresh sheets to look forward to.

Join us again in two months for another episode of Rotate That Mattress!

Current Mood: determined

Could hear Ms. Sasha purring as she strolled down the walkway to meet me. We did the usual ritual of a meet-up scritch and then escort around the corner to her front steps for an extended session.

Orange hawkweed blooming in one yard, earliest of the species. More rhododendrons, more roses, etc, etc, etc.

Air temperature 64 F, wind near calm, light mist falling. Roads had been drying off from overnight rain. No current local rain showing on the radar. May be able to get out for a walk.

In contrast . . .

The lion and the unicorn
Were fighting for the crown
The lion beat the unicorn
All around the town.

Some gave them white bread,
And some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum cake
and drummed them out of town.

Makers, takers, and fakers . . .

Air temperature 66 F, wind northwest about 5 mph, partly cloudy with added wildfire smoke. Dew point 63 F, high pollen, air quality moderate with AQI 57. I did not like the air when I rolled the trash bin to the end of the driveway. Planned bike ride may be scrubbed in favor of a sedate walk.

Well, I was wondering when they would hit the rocks. How long until Musk is scapegoated for everything that breaks?
