2/1/2025 RIVET

Rosie the Riveter. And yes this, not that anti-union Westinghouse poster you’re thinking of, is the real Rosie the Riveter.

I hear my photo for 1/24 didn’t come through. Here it is:

February 1 – Tree (coniferous).  Tree that produce cones. Most, but not all, coniferous trees are also evergreens, and vice versa.

I have no idea what holiday these people are celebrating with the two skeletons – one headless and wearing a Santa Claus suit – and a skeleton dog with a leash made of Christmas lights. But I’m here for it!

1/31/2025 TOAST

A toast!

Call box art along Wisconsin Avenue. (The blue light and the wiring are part of my bike.)

1/30/2025 FALSE

This is quite literally a false alarm.

At one time it was a true alarm, a call box that could summon police or fire in the event of an emergency. But with all the electrical components removed, it can no longer summon anyone and thus has become a false alarm.

January 31 – Car (yellow).  Must be an actual car, not for example a school bus or a commercial van.

@nadine, I never disqualify anything retroactively that meets the criteria.  Next round, I will likely disqualify ducks or geese (because they are a separate bingo item).  But for this round, they are birds so they count.

[cvcalhoun]

January 30 – Tunnel.  From outside or inside. A tunnel designed for transportation (auto, train, people, etc.).

[cvcalhoun]

Okay, @steve-o, you’re in!

Lamp post sculpture at 26th and I Streets NW.

1/29/2025 UDDER

In this mural, the cow’s udders are leaking so badly that she’s ended up in a puddle of spilled milk.  (Verification that this is in fact spilled milk can be found here.)

Remembering the first weeks after each of my children were born, I can sympathize!
