I'm about to go out on the bicycle now, but it will definitely be a shorter ride than usual. Planned to go out earlier, but had to do some work stuff first. Lots of shade on my ride which does help. Years ago I probably would have gone out midday or in the afternoon, but I am 67 now so a bit more cautious. Also, on days like this I ride about a 2.5 mile loop from home so I can always cut it short if necessary.

Crazy swings of momentum. Fun and entertaining match. Half way thru extra time . . . penalty shootout on the horizon?

For anyone following this year's European soccer championships, two insane matches today. Spain v Croatia and France v Switzerland. I'm sure they will be on replay this evening.

Boston = 96/71 Norwood = 95/72 My Backyard = 93/78 on the edge of the woods

92/79 in my backyard. Must be all the watering of the new shrubs in our little woodland.

Went to Wegmans in Westwood today, and it was about 80 to 90 percent masked, myself included. Mask is no big deal to me, and I have enjoyed not even catching a cold for more than a year. On the commuter rail yesterday, and masks will still be required. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

It was a lovely day in Manchester on Tuesday for the City/PSG match. The field was covered with hail for most of the first half. Didn't slow City down at all.

Fabulous. Thanks for the info!

Anyone seeing any hummingbirds yet in Southern New England? They usually return in May, and we want to have the feeders ready for them after their long journey. Amazing birds!

1.18 so far. Lawn and new shrubs look happy. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

If you listen to Like A Rolling Stone, the cadence of parts of it sound very much like a precursor to rap.

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand Vanished from my hand Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet I have no one to meet And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship My senses have been stripped My hands can't feel to grip My toes too numb to step Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun It's not aimed at anyone It's just escaping on the run And but for the sky there are no fences facing And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme To your tambourine in time It's just a ragged clown behind I wouldn't pay it any mind It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind Down the foggy ruins of time Far past the frozen leaves The haunted frightened trees Out to the windy beach Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky With one hand waving free Silhouetted by the sea Circled by the circus sands With all memory and fate Driven deep beneath the waves Let me forget about today until tomorrow Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Wow, quite Dylanesque!

When I have to start getting back on the computer rail, I'll be wearing a mask. I'll probably also continue wearing one when grocery shopping and in other big crowded stores. I haven't even had a hint of a cold since all of this started, so why not keep wearing the mask. No big deal to me.

Fixed it for you.

3.6" at Blue Hill. Over 2.5" of rain (and melted snow) at my house. Backyard is a sloppy mess.

Sleet mixing in with the rain in this band backing in now. Temp up to 34 and skies getting noticeably brighter. Slotting soon?

Looks like it is back to mostly rain or snizzle here.

Streets covered down here too. Did not expect that, but it has been pounding. About 1/2 inch now, so only need another 11.5 to reach the lower end of George's forecast. Think I'll come up just a little short.

Ground covered, but turkeys don't care. Down to 33. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Flipped to snow and temp down to 35. Almost no wind now after being quite breezy earlier.

Temp down to 38; dropped 4 degrees in the last hour. Mangled flakes mixing in, but don't expect to see much more than that. Over an inch of rain since midnight. Give me back last Saturday's 79F.

On my mother's side, my grandmother lived to 94, one aunt lived to 89, another aunt lived past 100. My mother died at 54 from ovarian cancer, but her twin brother lived to 90. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer at 50, and apparently there is a genetic link between ovarian and prostate cancers. Hope I dodged the bullet and hit my 90s like the others!

Meanwhile, back on planet Earth . . .
