2012 01 08 Sunday
I biked to the intersection of Winchester and S River Rd. - about 10 km each way.
Great day for it: sunny, warm, light breeze, not too hot.
Of course a headwind developed for me to bike home into.
Looking at a map, I suspect I could have biked to 'downtown' Englewood in about the same distance. Maybe my next trip.
I saw several interesting birds: a small blue heron; a huge heron of some kind (its back was 3 feet high); several smaller birds.
I chatted with a gent who was just dragging a dead coon (the kind with tail-rings) across the street to get it off his lawn. He had been stationed in NFLD for awhile, and had driven up there since retirement with his wife; he knew quite well where St. Stephen NB was. He agreed with my assessment that a drive to Mexico should be postponed until the shooting stops.
I think Jack may have been bitten by a tick. He has a red circle on his belly, with what appears to be a bite mark in the center. We're going to ask Peggy if she knows about such things.
