Wrong Call ☎️ I think I made the wrong call this morning. Doesn’t it drive you crazy when you do that? Not that I got caught in the rain. In fact, I didn’t need to take the poncho with me. The problem was wind. When I checked the weather online at about 8:45 am, the […]
Was the Groundhog Wrong? 🐽 Was the groundhog wrong? Is that critter a poor weather forecaster? It sure seems like it. Our temperatures this week are more like April than February! Revelers are sure to be happy about that; and it’s also better for riding. I’m happier when I don’t need to don four layers

One Hundred Dollars? 💵 Remember that Rachel Field poem about, if I had One Hundred Dollars? Childhood innocence, perhaps; the poem seems to have been written from a child’s perspective.

Prognostication 🔮 Our local groundhog has made his prognostication: six more weeks of winter. Despite a forecast for patchy, dense fog, it was bright and sunny when I went out riding at around 7:45 am. It won’t last, though. By tomorrow afternoon, it’s likely to be raining. Tomorrow night, we could get heavy rain and
Not So Angelic? 😇 The forecast for the weekend is not so angelic; so don’t think a solar halo means great weather. Rain is likely by Saturday night. I saw the halo while out riding. It was quite faint; but it was there. That was around 10:00 am; and I was surprised to see that
