    @kbikeva, I hope the comments will not discourage you from continuing the game next year.  It’s one of my favorites.  And I have noticed that you are putting a lot of effort into it, both solving the Wordle early and promptly reviewing submissions.

    …no more fire stations within a reasonable distance from my house. I’ve “done” the public art in my area if not this year, past years.

    There’s your problem – when I ran out of “nearby” stations all I had to was redefine what’s “reasonable”, which has also helped me discover “new to me” public art!  (Though I’ll need to redefine “reasonable” again soon enough…) 🙂

    Yeah, I’m having the same issue with flags. There are 177 embassies in DC, so no shortage of flags. But the minimum distance of an embassy from me requires about a 15-mile round trip. And there are so few of them even that close that I end up deliberately going for farther away ones over the weekend, so that I can save the closer ones for weekdays when I have less time.

    2/22/2024 – heavy

    These bikes are HEAVY, but a reliable and convenient form of transportation.

    #scavhunt – 2/22/2024 – Downhill from the NOVA CC campus on Dawes Ave.  Wish we had some of these HEAVY vehicle parking restrictions near us.

    Some of the 18 piers needed to support the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and the heavy traffic that daily crosses the bridge. The bridge was designed to handle the heavy Metro rail cars.

    2/22/2024 – Heavy

    This water tower holds 1.5 million gallons of water.  I’d say that qualifies as heavy,

    @kbikeva I don’t mean to make you and Serdar feel unappreciated, and I definitely don’t wanna increase your load! Also I’m still playing – maybe just not so daily. (That’s also because I’m going on my 3rd week low- grade sick, most likely because of my insistence on riding daily. Doc put me on a week of 10 mile slow rolls, yesterday 🤦🏻‍♀️😖)

    Like Carol, I definitely don’t wanna discourage you guys from hosting the contest again! Take my comment as a vote for doing it a li’l differently next year. I’ll play, though, regardless. Also, frustrated is too strong a word. I just liked the photo contest better when it felt like it was more about finding interesting things than composing great photographs.

    And I feel you about the forum – now THAT I’m frustrated about. Besides the inability to reply to particular posts (I don’t even know how people are putting quotes from prior posts in, in this new forum) I’m still having to reset my password EVERY SINGLE TIME I log in. The forum never recognizes my password even once – it just lets me in when I reset. So my comments and “likes” are limited too, cuz I’m tryna keep the reset-log-on process to only once /day. I’ve reached out to the forum ppl 3x about it  – I don’t think anyone is listening. 🤷🏻

    You go to the “Text” as opposed to “Visual” tab of the reply box. Click on “B-QUOTE” before what you want to quote. Then click on either “/B-QUOTE” or “CLOSE TAGS” at the end of what you want to quote.

    However, this involves your having to copy and paste what you want to quote.  It’s not as simple as in the old forum, which allowed you just to “Reply with quote.”

    Yeah, not sure what is going on there. When a bunch of pages got deleted from this thread, I wrote to them. They assured me that I had deleted it myself by deleting something it was in response to, but said they could restore it. I pointed out that it was in response to the first post on this thread, which was still there. And that not all the responses were deleted, just some of them, so it couldn’t be in response to anything I did. But I requested that they restore the deleted pages. I’ve now requested that three times, with no response.

    @cvcalhoun and @lhasaCM — you’re both right, ‘nearby’ is a relative thing. But I’m a slow rider by choice, so getting too far out is a challenge sometimes, especially when there are other things I need to do that day. 🙂 The #fire game has actually opened my eyes to how few fire stations there are and how far apart they are. I live 1 mile from the one that would respond to my home if something happened – and now I truly consider myself lucky!


    @cvcalhoun    , I think the reward for winning is getting to run the game, so players might want to factor that into their planning! ha ha

    And today, after all the kerfuffle, the photos rolling in are some of the best I’ve seen, so apparently the earth is still revolving and rotating correctly.


    @cbganimal    , I’m so sorry you are missing her, but what a beautiful way to express this word.


    @alana    , how many tons is 1.5 million gallons?


    @CaseyKane50    , the Wilson Bridge provides so many great photo opps – and you caught one. Do you remember before they redid the bridge and riding through that area was so creepy?


    @DCAKen     — HA HA HA HA HA – this is priceless


    @CCRider50     – I love the concept of heavy lifting. The Canal is a treasure.


    @Consularrider     – I didn’t know this concept existed! Now I’m going to do some research!


    @bikesnick     – That’s what I always tell our new adult riders – the BikeShare bikes will be heavy but really stable. And when you are tired of using them, it will be time to purchase your first used bike!

    2/22/24 HEAVY

    “HEAVY is the head that wears the crown”

    Lady Liberty has had a tough job the last 8(?) years. No wonder she looks so tired.

    (Reclining Liberty Statue is in Virginia Square)

    My quote above is likely a common misquote of Shakespeare
