On my way out of the doc’s office, lo and behold, there stood a USPS Collection Box. E-Z score!

3/19/21 – “Freezing Saddles” 5-letter word (or longer) subanagram

On your ride tomorrow, the last day of Freezing Saddles , find a 5-letter word (or longer) using only the letters in “Freezing Saddles”, the word or the thing. If the latter, let us know what you found. Snap a pic, and post it here in the thread.

WOOOOHOOOO! Thank you all for playing. Even though there wasn’t a lot of group rides and meetups compared to years past, I still enjoyed suffering virtually with you all on the bike in the cold.

So who’s coming out to FSLNHPP? JoM and I will definitely try to make it, so say hi and intro yourself if we’ve never met before. Let’s just stay properly socially distanced

Happy hunting!

It was difficult to make this one interesting but your backdrop certainly does!

Thanks! I did try to think of the most scenic postal box around. The Franciscan Monastery has helped me out with several of these challenges!

I made sure to get the pogies that match the box and my black-cat bell for a pop of color. High art, you know. The fact that I forgot to turn my phone so the photo would post properly here only adds to the visual appeal.

On March 18, 1766, the Stamp Act – a tax levied on the British colonies in America which required that many printed materials be produced on stamped paper produced in London – was repealed. It was enacted in 1765 to pay for British military troops stationed in the American colonies that were there to protect from a French invasion, but the colonists thought the tax was unfair (plus they weren’t really worried about a French invasion).

I know that the Stamp Act wasn’t about stamps in the way that we think of them now, but since the word “stamp” made me immediately think of the Postal Service, let’s go out and find one of those blue USPS collection boxes.

Fun fact: letter boxes started out as green in 1860, then red in the 1880s, silvery white from 1897-1905, then back to green. In 1955, they were Red, White, and Blue, and finally in 1970, they came to look like they do now: solid deep blue color with reflective decals featuring the Postal Service’s eagle seal.

Happy hunting!
