east of mrs?

you're on a roll, unc. Keep this up and I suspect you'll win ...in spite of all the competition

north of 40?

not this time, my dear mr. explorer

landlocked state?

not bordering on an ocean but I can easily float over to the ocean

tennessee?

not with my eyes closed...no

kentucky?

nope, not in the home of the Derby and the giant baseball bats.

we(s)t, virginia?

No we we's, t Virginia.

If you take that magnet out of your pocket, hang it on a very delicate string, and it might point you this way.

(.)hi(.)?

Lindy, wondering how I am to interpret that, I'll say yes, great guess!

within 50 miles of columbus?

oops....I'm not in Ohio. I misinterpreted Lindy's clue. Although now that unc made the Ohio connection for me, I admit to being dumb with that reply.

illinois?

no nois, it's pretty quiet here right now

that leaves indiana...

i would suggest a nudist colony in indiana, but they're all north of 40, as i recall...

are you east of I-65?

Not in Indiana, Kemo Sabe.

Perhaps that "landlocked" clue has you up a creek without a paddle? The state I'm in does not have an oceanic coast.

sorry for the coastal presumption...

alabama?

no banjo on my knee. Sorry.

louisiana?

(that part east of the mrs.)

no crawdads around here, unc. Not Louisiana. Go north, young man, go north.

that DOES leave western mississippi...

no mrs. around here, either.

nothing left, nick...

unc, you need a better magnifying glass about that old 40

sorry nick, i just don't see any state that hasn't already been nixed...

clue: I'm in Pennsylvania

within 17 minutes of the border...

ok, east of I-81?

yes, east of 81

west of the cream cheese?

nope, right in it. I'm in a famous man-made structure but it's not a building or bridge.

the rocky statue?

nope, not a statue, not a monument of any sort.

strawberry bridge?

still not a bridge

This famous structure used to move pretty fast.

i'm having a mental impasse with structures which are not buildings, bridges, statues or monuments...

hows about wells fargo center, home of the flyers?

great guess, unc and a good one for Cream Cheese Headquarters, but not correct.

I just looked up "structures" and I think I was a bit hasty in saying I'm in/at a structure since that seems to mean "man-made object permanently fixed to Earth's surface or in its orbit" and this is neither of those...though some day we'll probably be able to shoot it into orbit and make it into a space station.

It used to move pretty damn fast but now it's just sitting here rusting which is why I suggested you get that little magnet out of your pocket.
