    ‘The Lion’ all began with a picture of a faun carrying an umbrella and parcels in a snowy wood. This picture had been in my mind since I was about sixteen. Then one day, when I was about FORTY, I said to myself, ‘Let’s try to make a story about it.’ ~C.S. Lewis

    3/1/24 FORTY Couldn’t find a speed limit sign and went into the liquor store looking for 80 proof i.e. 40% alcohol, but look at the sign that jumped in my face (with the help of the store clerk)

    3/1 – Forty

    I cut through the woods on tonight’s ride and found these two containers propped up: 16 oz can of Monster and 24 oz bottle of Corona. Somebody was having a good ol’ time with 40 oz of liquid!

    @Karenbikes2 nice one. I LOVED that whole series, & think of it often. That’s a totally cool factoid.

    it’s on the Trolley Trail in Riverdale Park MD and appeared to be mid-installation when I took the photo — no signage but I agree it’s intriguing!!!

    The Masonic influence in the founding of this country is pretty well established. But there are some pretty big URBAN legends surrounding secret symbols and meanings. (Just read Dan Brown’s not-great book “The Lost Symbol” for about a hundred of them). One of the most enduring URBAN legends is that L’Enfant (a Mason) included Masonic symbols in the layout of DC. Specifically that there is a Pentagram that makes an arrow pointing to the White House (the fifth vertex), with the arrow beginning at the Masonic Temple up 16th street.

    This photo shows the Masonic Temple at the start of the arrow, and my ride recreating this mystical Pentagram with my Garmin.

    See my Strava ride for the clear map “proving” this URBAN legend. https://strava.app.link/dr9oy3McEHb

    an urban problem – drivers who think a bike lane is their private parking space.
