#flag – 2/23/2024 – St Louis Cardinals baseball in Fairlington.  I grew up a Cardinals fan in Central Missouri, then we moved to the Chicago suburbs and from then on it was GO CUBS!

#goldenspike – 2/22/2024 – Van Dorn Metro Station, Blue Line

#fever – 2/22/2024 – 39°F at the start of this morning’s ride.  There must be somethin HOT at COVANTA to require these cooling towers for the water vapor/steam?

#treats – 2/22/2024 – Ball! on the Holmes Run Trail next to Brookvalley Park.  It didn’t belong to any of the kids there (I did manage to return a tennis ball at Bluemont Park yesterday, but I had already claimed the treat from an earlier ride)

#fire – 2/22/2024 – I went by four fire stations I have yet to document on today’s ride!  Decisions, decisions!  I choose Alexandria Station No 10 since I’m submitting the Van Dorn Metro on #goldenspike and they have bike parking! Would have chosen Edsall Rd if I had got my phone out in time to document the two engines rolling out as I pulled up.
