I did not see a single duck on any of the waterways of today’s ride, just gaggles of Canada Geese.

2/26/21 – Acronym or Initialism (3 letters or more)

On February 26, 1935, Watson-Watt demonstrates the feasibility of RADAR – RAdio Detection And Ranging – to the British Air Ministry. This got me to thinking that there are acronyms everywhere, especially when you count hidden ones.

On your ride, find an acronym or initialism, whether it be standalone or within other words. Here’s a list of some examples: https://abbreviations.yourdictionary.com/articles/common-accronyms.html

Two things for this hunt:

1. It has to be 3 letters or more
2. You have to let us know what your acronym/initialism is and spell it out

Happy hunting!

Just a clarification: If it is within other words, do those words have to be in all caps? For example, if your acronym is BEG, would a sign with “Beginning” be acceptable?

2/25/21 – Duck

Another day where I figured wandering around would work out (eventually). About the time I was ready to give up, I stopped this in a house window…wooden duck.

On February 25, 1970, “Rubber Duckie” premiered on Sesame Street when Ernie sang the song while taking a bath. Fun fact:
“The segment was so popular that the song was issued as a single with the show’s theme song as the flip side. In September, it peaked at #16 on the Hot 100, and on November 16, it once again appeared on Sesame Street, this time in a Season 2 segment again with Ernie performing the song.”

On your ride, capture a likeness of a duck, whether it be an actual duck, an image, or made of rubber. Caveat is that it can’t be your own duck.

Happy hunting!

2/25 – Duck (ride completed on 2/25)
I stopped by one of our favorite local Chinese restaurants that was delivering before it was cool (I.E. COVID-19) called Duk Wo. The spelling is funky but the duck is delicious. The kids loved to come here (in the before times) to watch the sushi chefs work, sometimes they even got a special treat from them just because they were cute and loved the sushi so much!

2/26/21 – Acronym or Initialism (3 letters or more)
This one is a twofer: BCCRS (Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad) and CFC (Combined Federal Campaign).

I started out thinking I was going to Keep It Simple Stupid, with a picture of a Kiss & Ride sign. But on the way home, I kept finding more acronyms and initialisms everywhere. There were:

• HSBC=Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation.
• AZNA=Aziz & Naid. (The website of AZNA Salon says this is the derivation.)
• NTB=National Tire & Battery.
• PDG=Prestipino Dental Group (What this one stood for was right on the same sign.)
• SAT=Scholastic Aptitude Test and ACT=American College Testing. (There was an SAT and ACT prep sign.)
• NIH=National Institutes of Health sign that mentioned COVID-19=COronaVIrus Disease 2019.

I thought about going to the B-CC YMCA=Bethesda-Chevy Chase Young Men’s Christian Association, but decided that was really overkill.

Ultimately, I decided to go with the sign that had both the longest initialism and a second initialism.
