A thunderstorm popped up at sunset. The sky looked like a painting.

The road got surface sealed today. They first put down this "American-sourced, field proven Maltene Replacement Technology (MRT) product" (according to a flyer they left by the mailbox). Then went over it with some sort of sand/grit. Their flyer said we're only supposed to go 5 MPH for two days. Nobody does... even the bicycles go faster than that.

It's getting hazy from some wildfires in Canada.
