1/17/22 dumplings union market

Was some administrator messing with the site right before midnight? I hit the submit button well before midnight and the screen went white. Had to sign into the site and make a new post (the one I was submitting vanished) and submit that. The second time it’s also finicky about uploading the same photo again. You suddenly have to drag it and hope that actually works eventually. It nuts! But as long as I can participate by putting the photo on my Strava ride, I guess I’m good. It’s just so frustrating and you can’t be considered for the artsy prize.

US National Arboretum. Why is pansy used as a term of weakness? They made it through this weather!

PS. This was posted in time, but on the wrong thread. It’s also on memorials.

PPS. I really hate this midnight deadline. Why can’t this be programmed to go with the time stamp on the photo? The rule should simply be that the photo is taken during the correct day and uploaded by 2 am or something like that. It’s really fidgety for some reason. Seemed to upload fine for the memorials thread, but when I tried to upload the same pic here first I got a lot of wheel spinning on this site and then, when I tried to press “done”, instead of the site taking me back to the post to submit it, it kept asking me to DRAG the photo to the area at the bottom of the page. Didn’t do that on the memorials thread at all. But the photo doesn’t really drag – it just moves and then vanishes. Finally, it did appear in the box and let me go back to the post. I guess it’s nice seeing everyone’s photos here (there’s another page somewhere for Parks) but so rough.

“for this pointless prize a monument/memorial must be either a statue, commemorative plaque or sign of cultural or historic significance and must identify the name of the person or persons being memorialized”

Can that just be us identifying the name or names in the reply or does it have to be an actual sign with the words on it? Also, bike in the picture rule. Has that gone away? I’m not seeing many bikes.

Peirce Mill.

I still have a Calvinball from last year . . .

At the Bathrooms near Peirce Mill and Hungarian and Czechian embassies. So glad they were open. Hands so cold. Put a third layer of gloves on and still had a hard time getting to my keys to open the front door.

I like the odd cuboid shape of the shelf.

Maybe I should have posted whatever Saturday’s shape is, but then the ride would have been Friday.

1/6/2022 Cone “Participation”

I swear this is the forth time . . . and even the first time was late. ��

Why won’t these pictures upload?

PS well, it finally uploaded when I just hit the post thingy instead of repeatedly seeing no attachment in the “preview” thingy. Whatever. Every year.

Yes, I did figure with the help of another FSer. The words Upload Photo on my phone was a hyperlink when I didn’t know it was.

I had trouble trying to upload both memorials and shapes on the road tonight (took shelter in the bathrooms at Long Bridge Park). Some of it may have been from using cell service instead of WIFI (shapes seemed to download when I went to the door) and I wonder if trying to upload the same picture for memorials was a problem. It finally uploaded at home when I edited it to include more of the AF Memorial, but it probably won’t count because my bike wasn’t in the photo.

Picture of the Pentagon FROM the Air Force Memorial. Not sure if I’m following any of the rules. Midnight approaches.

Stupid photo won’t post. Oops, think I got the photo, but my bike isn’t in the picture.

I think it’s a beautiful and interesting triangle, but not a right triangle. Better than those square rhombuses (Wikipedia calls them “special cases”!) ����*♂️Actually, I take that back. The one above the door may not be a right triangle, but the dormer looks like it makes it!
