Accepted. Because igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of … lava.

If, unlike Ken, you prefer to get lava hot coffee at home, Harris Teeter has you covered!

1/5/23 – lava
Classified ad in a Spanish language newspaper. This ad is for Woodbridge condominium rentals with 2 bedrooms, 2 complete bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, washer-dryer, & 2 covered parking spots near Belmont bay information.
The Spanish word for washing machine is “lavadora.” I circled the “lava” in the picture.
I picked up the newspaper on a walk with a friend earlier – all day I’d been hoping to find a laundromat or car wash with a bilingual sign….. I was looking on the walk, too, for a sign I could come back to take a pic of on my ride home. There were no bilingual signs, though. I didn’t really expect any in Clarendon. I was surprised to find the newspaper there.Earlier today I’d biked through a car wash in a multi ethic part of falls church – I’d weaved between the cars, & HEARD the workers speaking in Spanish! But all the signs were all in English! [emoji2358][emoji1744]
So anyhow later in my walk with Joan I picked up this Spanish language newspaper, flipped through it, didn’t see anything…. It was Joan who suggested I bring it home – and sure enough, on the back page I found this great ad, & had to go out and ride around the block with a newspaper in my pocket to take the picture.
I shoulda read through the newspaper before I got on my bike to come home from Joan’s – but I don’t think I’m flaunting the rules here, just a poor planner (story of my life [emoji2358][emoji1744])
Sorry I covered part of the ad l. I was thinking I was highlighting the “lava” & didn’t realize I’d wanna translate the ad for you guys. Whoopsie [emoji2358][emoji1744]

Well Nadine kinda stole my idea…but yes Lava means to wash in Spanish so I got a pic of a laundry mat.

, I took a photo of a Japanese restaurant since Japan has many active volcanoes (Indonesia has more). According to Google Japan has 10% of the Earth’s active volcanoes numbering 111!!!!Had what I thought were many great ideas but none of them came to fruition because I stayed at work too long: Bag of lava rocks at a hardware store (closed); hot lava wax sign at Mr Wash (closed), volcanic rock sites in geological map from Lake Barcroft into Four Mile area (called Indian Run)
https://naturalatlas.com/geologic-formations/indian-run-formation-2772993Too dark to photograph; lava rocks advert for a massage studio or nIl salon–too tired to seek…

Like @consularrider I went to Vulcan Coffee in Alexandria, since “Vulcan” means “volcano” in Spanish, and everyone knows that volcanos spew lava.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
