    6/28/24 -DROVE

    Today my ride started at my friend Terre’s house in Occocuan, & was followed by a party for Kristen & Tajr, who are moving to Bend OR at the end of July. (They’ve been Freezing Saddles players for most of the last several years. She was quite high up on the rankings.)

    Anyhow, we all DROVE to the ride start, but Manfred’s car is the cutest, so here he is in it just as he was leaving.

    6/28/24 DROVE

    I don’t know why so many people drove here when there is a perfectly good bike path.

    6/29/24 – zebra

    I didn’t go to the zoo like you musta, Carol (and I totally knew you would!) but I remembered my father calling crosswalks “zebra crossings.” Neither my husband nor my friend Justin (who I rode with today) had heard of that. Alan (husb) said maybe Jon (father) had made it up. Nope, that wasn’t Jon’s style.

    He was really into language and culture, though. It must be British, I decided. And lo and behold, when I looked it up I found this:

    Sooooo here’s my entry. There are 3 visible zebra crossings in this pic, and that white pickup is on a 4th.

    This was at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival today.

    I often feel ย bursts of gratitide to my father (who taught me how to ride a bike after all!) and today’s entry, too, is thanks to him ๐Ÿ’•

    @nadine, I lived in England a couple of years, and am very familiar with the term, “zebra crossing.” In fact, if you check my Strava ride you’ll see the photo of one I took along the way, just in case I couldn’t find an actual zebra.

    6/30/24 BUDDY

    Pride in the Plaza Silver Spring had a buddy system in which the people carrying rainbow umbrellas protected kids going to drag queen story hour from harassment.

    That’s such a great entry, @carol!

    I didn’t ride today – I really needed a day off….. So this is just for you, My daughter & daughter-in-law are birthday buddies today [6/30/24-buddy]

    Also, I took this pic on June 8th when I last saw them….. My kids are the tallest one and the shortest one, & the birthday buddies are the 2 in the middle. The guy next to Emily is her guy Josh.

    Incidentally, Bikingjenn is also birthday ing today, and her birthday is the biggest of the 3, today: Emily – 27, Adrienne -31, Jenn- 60

    7/2/24 INLAY

    Rockville Town Square has several inlays in the brick. The two closest ones in this picture are the musical notes and the jumping person.

    7/3/24 THIGH

    Since I didn’t quite have the nerve to ask strangers to let me take pictures of their thighs, I went to Popeyes, which sells chicken thighs.
