A day late posting 🙁

#bingo Named creek/river
Snakeden Branch in Reston, VA
Branch is a synonym for creek. Snackden Branch feeds into Lake Audubon, which is dammed, and exits at the east end of the lake, going beneath Twin Branches Rd and continuing through the woods.

Found some ugly flowers today.

Now I’m confused. I thought you said we could post the item <i>any</i> day after it was announced and the we <i>couldn’t</i> post more than one item on a day.

If I do post my bird house today, does it have to be a literal bird house. I couldn’t get into the zoo in time (although even that’s not your typical bird house it’s a called The Bird House but I think it’s a big cage – they ain’t necessarily flying in and out of it), so I found a bird 🦅 on a house. So to the neighbors it’s The Bird House. But tell me again. Only the next day and two submissions are allowed for different items on the same day?

1/14/2025 Bird House

There’s a bird on the door of this house. It’s The Bird House.

Here’s what I was talking about. But another post here seems to be saying it can only be the day after and you can post two a day 🤔

“Bad news: You can’t count the synagogue you found for yesterday. Good news: You can go to the same or a different synagogue on any future day, so long as it’s not a day you’re finding a different object.”

This seems different:

“@sszibler, it goes by the ride date. You are required to post the bingo item from one day’s ride by the end of the next day. (This is more liberal that most of the Pointless Prizes, which require posting the same day.) But this means that on occasion, you could be posting items from two days’ rides on the same day.“

Oh, maybe you just mean the ride date, not the posting of the item date? But it can be on the same day because it was found on different days . . .

@karenbikes2gmail-com, posting the day after the ride is fine.  I just don’t allow it later than that.  (Having risked frostbite myself trying to make the midnight posting deadline on some other Pointless Prizes, I like to give people at least a little leeway.)

@cabel, you have marked “Statue (person)” on your card.  However, that one hasn’t been called yet.  Can you please unmark it?

@bikeeveryday, your photo of the sculpture didn’t show up.  Can you please try again?

@sszibler, you are correct. Examples:

Good:

• Ride on 1/13, find sculpture (nonperson), which is that day’s item.
• Ride on 1/14, find barn, which was the item from back on 1/4.
• On 1/14, post both sculpture and barn.

Since the ride days were separate, and both items were posted by the day of the ride or the day after, this is fine.  And it’s not a problem that the barn was found long after the day it was called, since you can find an item the day it was called or any subsequent day.

Bad:

• Ride on 1/14, find both barn and sculpture, post both (regardless of when you post them).

Since both items were found on the same day, you can only claim one of them.  You’ll need to go back on another day to find the other one.

January 15 – Mosque.  Can be a photo of either the building or the sign, but you must identify the building if there is no name shown.
