[ATTACH=CONFIG]29260[/ATTACH] I saw this patch of ice on a back road in Lorton. Not til I got off the bike to take the picture did I see the bottle of Icehouse there too! Score! A two-fer.

I hope you picked up the bottle to dispose of it(after the picture)!

Found a surprising amount of ice hanging on in the gullies on the side of the roads but photos of those remaining shreds just didn’t do them justice. This was by far the best ice find of the day, the remaining ice for a puddle that doubtless was solid ice a week ago.

1/2/2023 – ICE

I have triple ICE today. ICE box for Apollo ICE, with my ICE recumbent trike! (see inset). Also, this was taken in front of 7-11, which sells very icy slurpees.

1/3/2023 Lantern

Since coffee club was a dud this morning I rode out to Falls Church and took a pic of what seems to be an interesting restaurant.

1/3/23 Lantern

Rode into 20+ mph wind gusts in order to find a lantern. I had a Chinese restaurant in mind but as I poked along — voila! A beautiful (ahem) lawn ornament revealed itself! The ride back was MUCH better. And faster.

1/3/2023 – Lantern

I also took a picture of the sign, but this is what it says:

These gas lanterns (now electrified) are composite units made from the remnants of four lanterns which bordered the horseshoe drive at the Olney Inn prior to its destruction by fire in 1977. Apparently the original lanterns were extensively damaged, since only these remnants are known to exist.

The reconstructed lanterns were made and given by Dudley Finneyfrock in 1988 for the illumination of the gardens at the Sandy Spring Museum. The Olney Inn, a well known local restaurant was located on Georgia Avenue in Olney where the headquarters branch of the Sandy Spring National Bank stands today (1992).
