I did Matthew Henson! I wonder if it’s on my list?

1/21/2025 ICING

The street upon which I live and breathe, and stuff, has had this layer of slippery snow and icing since the beginning of the “blizzard” and considerable coldness

I’m over it. Plus my hip is still in a lot of pain when I move certain ways from falling on the stupid icing the other day. Rather have cake icing

1/20/2025 FLAG (Other)

Posted on “July” 19 (lol! I’m glad it’s not just me that’s losing my brain cells!)

Sorry these aren’t very clear – I really tried, but the wind blew irregularly and gusty and the Howard flag was very high. I think it shows up better online when you search for Howard’s flag. I believe it’s the school flag like some bison 🦬 thing. The other flag, near the arts building very close by, I believe is the LGBTQ+ 🏳️‍🌈

Oh, actually I only counted 15 because I hadn’t listed todays yet

So, are those 4+ all one park or separate finds?

16 is what I get! Did Sligo Creek count? Maybe I’m missing one on my list.

1/20/2025 SQUID

The Red Hen 1822 First St. NW

Italian Restaurant

According to local guide and reviewer, Rose Zhang, who was proposed marriage that night and gave the restaurant 5 stars:

“The squid ink linguini was very colorful and the pasta was cooked to perfection.”

Actually makes me want to go sometime – and maybe order something like vegetarian pasta . . .

I’m early tonight! See how long THAT lasts.

Rats. There was a really cool-looking person inside that I can’t see in the post 😔

Yay, for the bike parking. Gag for the delicious squid 🤢

😂 “Squid Licker”

I was just going through my parks to try to see what I’d done. I noticed a few places where I wrote #Park vs. #Parks. I changed the ones I saw to Parks. Does it make any difference?

[sszibler]

Dang, thanks for explaining, Carol. Flag would have gotten me . . . actually, now that I’m looking, not any closer in reality than Sign. Both leave me two away.

And yeah, I was just trying to get the extra bonus miles in and also encouragement to get more miles in the second ride. If I’d remembered to get a flag in the second part, that would have worked, right? But there’s no way I could have gotten a flag on a ride that started on the 18th, correct?

1/19/25 Flag (Other)
Event posted for 1/19 or later. Ride began on 1/18. Photo taken on 1/19. Photo of Sign (Park) also taken and posted on 1/19. What am I missing. Can both count? Either? ❤️

Oh, flag is at Phoenix park hotel and I think is the hotel flag (not enough wind, but it looks similar to Google Maps post. The far flag is Irish. It’s a historic hotel attached to the Dunliner.

Sign (Park)

Found and posted on 1/19/25, Ride started on 1/18. Posted 1/18

Folger Park

I let you arbitrate and get back to me, Carol. Brain is a little too fried to figure this out between the rules and my late night riding style.

Can’t figure out if FLAG (other) AND Sign (Park) can both count. There are flags and park signs on the first ride that started on the 18th, but the photos were actually TAKEN on the 19th. Sign posted by you on the 18th and Flag on the 19th 🤔 On the ride starting on the 19th I got a park, but no SIGN. Rules and riding style are complicated!

Can two items posted by you on different days, be posted on one ride, but different days? I should have gotten a sign at Frederick Douglas House
