I’m not sure which came first–the last like or my dislike. (They were more or less simultaneous.) But I’ve removed my dislike to let the competition go forward.

So I’m pretty sure I posted before the dislike on the blue dress.

I would have only liked the blue dress if it had been worn on the bike

Tough crowd here! I would argue that a photo taken at night during an ice storm should get extra credit as being in accordance with the purposes of this competition. But even if you disagree, do you really have to dislike the photogenic one for a technical failure?

Some of us still refuse to acknowledge the renaming of National Airport!

And remember if you don’t like this side bet, go out and get a photo of Reagan!

Really, no one stopped at DCA this morning?

Yeah, I could probably get a more photogenic shot myself if I weren’t trying to take it in the dark and the sleet, with my cell phone camera malfunctioning due to being wet. LOL

Oh, c’mon, this wasn’t even taken during Freezing Saddles. Note the shorts and summer grass.

cvcalhoun took a somewhat unsatisfying photo of the RRB. I liked it given the paucity of anything else. BTW – it’s an enormous building right in downtown DC. Certainly someone could get a photogenic shot of it with their bike.

I’m surprised rcannon didn’t go by the airport and get his bike with the statue of Ron out front.

(Hey, anyone know where Monica Lewsinsky’s apartment was? Just sayin’)

I’m biking in weather so bad my reflective vest is caked with ice, and you want to complain about the artistic merits of a photograph of my bike?!?!

Ah, okay, I was misreading it to say that you’d set up the teams based on the first week after the start of FSSB #4. If we’re setting them up based on past performance, I would agree it’s unlikely we’ll drop out of first place in the next 32 minutes.

I’m only assuming that they are going to be #1 in 36 min, at the start of FSSB #4.

I love how everyone assumes that Sloppy Seconds will be #1 going forward. For the record, there has actually been only one week that Sloppy Seconds has been on top of the weekly rankings. What has happened is that a different team jettisons to the top each week, but then can’t keep it up the following week. We Sloppies aren’t at the top any one week, but are consistent enough to take top honors overall.

I’m thinking this means those poor Slackers–who joined with the expectation that they wouldn’t be expected to do much of anything–are suddenly going to be under pressure from the #1 team to up their game.

[cvcalhoun]

Well, if someone else wants to find a better photo (Ford’s Theater, maybe?), they are welcome to. However, after 24 miles in the rain and sleet (and falling over once on an icy sidewalk), I’m not going out to find a Ford dealership tonight!

[cvcalhoun]

You may recall that last week, I bicycled to the McKinley Building at AU and the Taft Bridge, only to have someone post each of those before I even got to see that the preceding President had 3 likes. I now have better ones for Carter, Reagan, and Clinton, but figured I’d better not take the time to get to a dealership, or this one would get grabbed, too.

[cvcalhoun]

Ford. (And given today’s weather, I had to ford Water Street to get this photo!)

You know, we’ve had previous complaints that Maryland is the red-headed stepchild of this competition. For example, the bridges competition was simple for Virginians, many of whom crossed bridges on their way to work, but required us Marylanders to travel many miles just to get to a bridge. I’ve assumed until now that this was unthinking, not deliberate. But seriously, you don’t think that requiring that all entries take place in Arlington disadvantages us Marylanders?
