    A pleasant 55F in a light misting drizzle. Overcast and very
    quiet today. Nice ride in a wool cap.

    Around here it has been a good September about the warmest I can
    remember with not much wind. This morning was 57 and low wind. Took the
    1.4 mile repeating circle ride on a subdivision road. I was slower today
    but I think it has much to do with cooler weather. I move much faster if
    temps are around 70 degrees.

    Amazing really that we have had no real cold day at all. Probably the
    best Sept weather for heat. Now I suppose the climate folks will give us
    the old climate change problem. I don't buy it as a problem mostly and
    the climate has been change off and on over 1000's of years.

    Fresh-cut local sweet corn ended two weeks ago (it's
    different in a grocery, where it's at least several days old).

    Corn in that photo (maize for Roger) is field corn, entirely
    different variety. It grows taller, it's planted more
    densely and stays in the field until the kernels are dry.

    I assume that is what they use to make corn flower and corn meal and Polenta in decending order of fineness

    The Earth's orbit is slightly eliptical and the hemisphere most directly facing the sun changes over millenia. There was cold and hot years over the centuries but Dr. Michael Mann wanted to become famous so he blamed the cyclic heating on the automobile. This was during Obama and it was used to assert that billionaire auto companies didn't care what happened to we poor middle class.
    CO2 does in fact cause some heating in the atmosphere but it is almost indetectable since after absorbing perhaps 5% of the heat it has no more effect. This is less than detectable since over any given field that temperatures can very more than that.
    CO1 (Carbon Monoxide} is certinly more dangerous but the half life (the time it takes to absorb another oxygen molecule) is very short.
    People that tell you that global warming is unlimited and dangerous simply don't know what any 1st year chemist can tell you.

    Yes that's right but most of it goes to hog feed, ethanol
    and corn syrup for processed foods

    Back when I was growing up, field corn was also chopped stalks and all
    before it was dry, to put in silos. It was also edible if you got it
    at the right time, but not nearly as good as sweet corn.

    One one cold wet and windy Century ride in late September
    (1976?) my partner and I were just beat and bonking 20 miles
    from the finish. We stopped and ate some raw field corn
    which had enough calories to make a difference!
