2/12/21 – Ox or any bovine. This is in the yard at a house on the corner of 4th St. North and N. Edgewood Streets in Arlington.

No images of oxen or bovines that I could find today, only “ox” within the word “box” on a sign hanging in the window of my local UPS store.

In 2021, the Chinese Zodiac sign is the Ox, and it begins on February 12.
On your ride, find the likeness of an ox (or any bovine) or the letter combo “ox” out in the wild. If you are seeking the letters “ox”, they just have to be beside each other in that order, but they can be within another word.
Happy hunting!

2/12/21 likeness of an Ox or Bovine. I love living in Clinton, I went the extra mile to fine actual living Bovines.

I was hoping for a real cow but they were not out today. I almost gave up until I remembered that the school lunch always has a milk with a cow on it. I just had to ride around for 20 more min until they opened up. It was cold, but I got that cow!![ATTACH=CONFIG]23985[/ATTACH]

They don’t get named any simpler than this
Too bad it wasn’t open for 24 hour take-out

Bentley’s Falls Church Diner. I think they’re closed and have actually changed hands but the sign is still up near the street. Hard to see the bike but it’s there.
Someone started calling out a 2nd floor window to invite me upstairs so I didn’t take long to snap a photo and quickly move along.

Participant2/13/21 – Diner (plus bonus point for having your bike in the picture)
It didn’t take me long to figure out where I could go, since I used to go to Tastee Diner frequently in the Before Times. The name of the diner is in lights above, and the word “DINER” is below. The “OPEN 24 HOURS” sign is definitely obsolete. It’s been completely closed since December 15. However, it is reopening tomorrow (February 14) for both indoor dining and carryout. Its hours that day will be 7am – 10pm, and it will be open regularly 6 am – 10pm thereafter.The loyalty of people in this area to Tastee Diner is indicated by response to the fundraiser for their staff. Goal was $5,000. So far, $40,762 has been raised.
And the photo includes not only my bicycle, but a bit of the two-bike rack I used to lock my bike to when I went there.

This is on 18th ST NW near Euclid in Columbia Heights. Bike in photo in the wee hours of the morn.
Usually, I can’t afford restaurants but every so often and now that I have a little Covid $$$ it’s all Covidy out there. But diners can be nice.

2/13/21 – Diner – extra points with the bike and the word diner in it! This is Bob & Edith’s Diner – the original one on Columbia Pike in Arlington. Great place to find food at Zero-Dark-Thirty in the morning. I went home soon after this photo since ice was starting to accumulate on my trike.

On February 13, 1960, the first of the Nashville Sit-ins occurred to non-violently protest segregation in the South. It eventually lead to six downtown stores opening their lunch counters to black customers for the first time.
On your ride, find a diner – preferably one you like – take a snapshot of it and post it here in the forum. For an extra bonus point, have both the word “Diner” and at least part of your bike in it.
Please be careful out there if it gets slippery!
Happy hunting!

2/13/21 – Diner
Took the obvious Reston area diner photo, then headed for Ambrosia in Herndon – but it was closed, and clearly a while ago! Didn’t investigate too closely because it started to sleet [emoji849] but no obvious signage remaining on the building.
Oops, missed reading about the extra point with bike in photo – but not going back out unless it stops sleeting [emoji53]
