Clear and calm this morning, vice the headwind home last night. Cooled off 25 degrees from the other morning. The calm and chill seemed to knock down the tree pollen - it's probably sitting on my windshield instead.


There was a tree just shy of the most difficult intersection on this route (stop sign instead of light with heavy cross traffic) that was ideally positioned. It would block the morning sun while letting me look around it to see traffic coming down the hill. Was; strong winds the other night blew it over about 15' off the ground. If it'd been 20' up, the trunk still would have worked.
