15.09.2020 Quote of the century: "It will start getting cooler soon."

 ~~

Tuesday 15th 54-75F, overcast but still. Some sunshine is possible. Expected to be warm. Better have an early walk. The sky is already clearing. Lots of vapour trails this morning!

Another walk up to the woods, through the brambles and back along the track to the village. Saw one bird of prey and a fleeing deer. Quite a lot of traffic. The landscape was hazy and had strange smells from crop spraying. The sunshine is watery but warm.

Chump now claims to see into the future: "It will start getting cooler soon."  The blind superstition of the uneducated, conspiracy theorist and self-appointed, cult leader?

"I am praying." To whom? Or [rather] to what? More superstition from the world's worst hypocrite? What about all the mass graves from his exorcisms? Is he still claiming to cure the Jinping Plague with swimming pool cleaner?

Afternoon ride to another pond to photograph ducks. The word must have go out because there wasn't a single bird. I meandered back via quiet rural lanes. Where I stopped to photograph a tractor seed drilling as it traversed a steep slope. Note the disk harrow on the front.

Then I rode on home via the main track through the woods. It must be 15 years since I last rode that way. Very rough with variable gravel and stones.

Steep sections of 5 & 6:1. Both up and down. It is a good job I have two wheel drive! Saw several birds of prey. Including a beautiful white and cream one. Sadly it was shy and vanished into the woods. Ten warm and hilly miles. Mostly in soft sunshine and always in gorgeous countryside.
