2/7/25 SWATH

This highway cut a huge swath through SE/NE DC, dividing historic neighborhoods for a pollution factory!

“District of Columbia Route 295(DC 295), also known as the Anacostia Freeway as well as the Kenilworth Avenue Freeway

Yes, the Anacostia Freeway, now known as Interstate 295 (I-295), divided historic neighborhoods in Washington, DC. The freeway’s construction destroyed parts of neighborhoods, including the historic Anacostia neighborhood.”

-Wikipedia

Plans to build a park over it have been discussed.

This could be VERY interesting!

Bilal A. Khan MD, Ophthalmologist, 2041 Georgia Ave NW, Washington D.C., DC 20060

Dr. Khan might look into your eye hole (pupil) to view the retina, its arteries, cup, macula, etc. to look for eye disease such as retinitis pigmentosa and the effects of diabetes

Not always! When you look in there from across the room you should see the red reflex on the retinas of a patient. You may especially notice the reflex on deer at night from across a field.

02/02/2025 CHORE

It’s always a bit of a chore to ride around Hains Point with the wind and the cold, but I’ll bet it’s also a chore sitting in a National Parks police car to make sure no one rides around the Point when it’s closed. Considered some Poggio laps, but the bad asphalt conditions make that an annoying chore too. Especially at night

Everything feels like a chore these days!

Thanks, CD, that’s kind of what I thought, but the definitions out there are confusing when they literally throw the word “bolts” into the mix, and I just happen to like rails more than the truck and folding, Metal accordion door I took pics of. Actually, the accordion door is a good composition, but I like rails and the history of trolleys in DC and wondered if anyone knew.

So, do you think these rail bolts are supplementary to a rivet, or totally holding them on and not really a rivet? Is there crossover?

Either way, I think the point here is just to get a post up talking about rivets! That’s what we seem to be doing with everything else. Just work the word in somehow 😂

So, I guess my question should be – Does a bolt attached imply that it’s not a rivet because it must be threaded on, or can it be both, expanded in the smooth metal, and threaded on at the ends? Why does this bolt definition exist?

Definitely, a Dull Men’s post subject

[sszibler]

The distinction is unclear to me since bolts are also mentioned in the definition, but I think they should at least have smooth heads rather than screw slots. Like your photo.

2/1/2025 “Hooray” Hou De Sousa 2021 Steel Plate

I think this was near the L’Enfant Plaza Metro on 7th ST

Technically, it was on a ride on 1/31 AND 2/1. It was taken at 11:55 on 1/31, but I’m uploading on 2/1 because there are like 5 rules and I didn’t know it was one of those “by midnight” deals, but it was too pretty to pass up. So, if you can count it on the day the ride ended, that would be good.

2/1/2025 RIVET

I like this rivet photo the best. There are different types of rivets and this is the bolt type found on these old trolley or train tracks

You can see both sides of this type. The bolt on the right and the rivet head on the left

:

“a short metal pin or bolt for holding together two plates of metal, its headless end being beaten out or pressed down when in place.”

31/01/2025 TOAST

In this building is “Smithsonian Toastmasters” which I think is open for about an hour on Thursdays.

I think it’s where you go to learn to orate or something.
