Mandai, Republic of Singapore

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too! What do we put in bottles? Let's hope it is not anything alive. "Yellow-crested cockatoos are poached for the illegal pet trade. Stuffed into plastic bottles and smuggled. 2 out of 5 don't survive." That's one of many things you can learn  by visiting a zoo! Be sure to see yesterday's post. [2016]

Sturgis, South Dakota, USA

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too! What do we put in bottles? Libations for bikers who pass through Sturgis for the annual bike rally. By the way, does what we said earlier this month about a flat roof seems to apply here? Be sure to see tomorrow's post. [2019]

Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too! Every city has signs like this.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too! Let's hope somebody is archiving these signs for the Covid museum, or at least documenting them digitally.

New York, New York, USA

February is all about the number two, and 2/22/22 is a palindrome too (a 5-digit palindrome)!

Be sure to see yesterday's post. [2020]

Greeley, Colorado, USA

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too! Montreal is Toronto's chief rival (although it used to be the other way around).

Be sure to see tomorrow's post.[2007]

Mansura, Louisiana, USA

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too! The veterans got this one right. The world globe here is tilted on its axis just the way it should be (unlike some others).

Seoul, South Korea

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too!

Providence, Rhode Island, USA

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too! The Americans with Disabilities Act, signed into law in 1990, was one of the 20th-century's greatest pieces of legislation.

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too! Two problems with this steeple-bound clock: (1) the church and (2) the mountains. The former preaches a timeless eternity. The latter observes a different measure of time. Be sure to see tomorrow's post. [1984]

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too!

Charleston, Illinois, USA

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too! Here is what a chain-saw artist created to help Charlestonians celebrate Lincoln's birthday. Locals call him "Tiny Head Abe." But why did the city have to put him behind a chain-link fence? Be sure to see tomorrow's post. [2017]

Tipton, Missouri, USA

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too! A billiard ball towering above a Dutch bakery: That makes sense since billiards was brought to America by the Dutch.

Nederland, Texas, USA

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too! With a name like Nederland (first e is long), you should expect to see something Dutch. Many of the early settlers were from the Netherlands, so in 1969 the windmill was erected, but the main street in town is still named Boston Avenue. Go figure! Be sure to see yesterday's post. [2022]

Malacca, Malaysia

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too! The Dutch took Malacca from the Portuguese in the 1600s. To commemorate that era, the city has built a Dutch windmill.

Kralendijk, Bonaire, Caribbean Netherlands

February is all about the number two, and 2/2/22 is a palindrome too! Thumbs up for French fries. Or, should we say Flemish fries (or Vlaamse frites) because Bonaire is part of the Netherlands?
