Sounds great.

Thanks for the tips! I'm looking at the association pathways map now. I had not grasped how much there is. Checking out these trails could keep me busy haha. First glance, the ones near the golf club(s) and Middle Patuxent Env Area look interesting...Patuxent Branch Trail does too. Def have to get to Centennial, I think that one's mandatory.

Columbia area people: do you have any favorite local walking, hiking, maximizing nature/minimizing people spots? I've been spending a lot of time visiting my elderly dad there, and he walks and drives and does stuff, but most of the time he's indoors. There's not much of a yard and I need some go-to, close by spots to hike or chill outside for an hour or two when it's glorious out! Patapsco is great but a bit far. Over the winter I discovered paths in the immediate neighborhood and walked around some of Wilde Lake and Kittamaqundi. My folks moved to Columbia a long time ago from Balt. Co. but most of what I've done there is just go to their house and out to eat! Thanks for any recs.

A fox just walked past my house with a fish in his/her mouth. Then headed down the street and into some woods. I wonder if there are kits. Idk if the fish was a catch or a find...but I want it to be a catch because that's much cooler. Looked fresh to me and intact.

I escaped the wedge around 1 pm. Damp and cool when I got in the car at home...sunny and glorious when I got out in College Park.

Better round came through around 11-midnight with thunder and lightning. A little over half inch rain since yesterday.

A rumble or two earlier. Just a gentle rain at present. The breeze coming in the windows smells good. High of 85 today. More clouds than sun made it a good afternoon for yard/garden cleanup.

Good week for temp gradient weenies

Sun finally visible under the clouds, instant blinding sunset

Excellent content, thank you for your service. Looks a bit like the Matterhorn

Just got back from a hike in the woods locally. Low 60s. 10/10 March day! I walk in these woods nearly every day and today is it - first green up is happening.

Yes, same. Genuine excitement. For Roger, it was definitely not just "an imby sport".
