Sorry y'all. I've been pleasurably distracted.
Yes, NH
And WH also.
Nope, not an ocean coast state.
It's nice to be gone, but not forgotten.
Yes. But this afternoon he flew to some kind of International Water for Food Conference in Nebraska. "The Transformative Impact of Drip Irrigation on Small Farmers." Interesting ---to him anyway.

BadNick

on the border with Canada?

)I see we're assuming Lindy is in the US although it was not really stated yet( <<< I'm trying reversed parentheses just for a change.

Lindy

NOT east of the mrs.

I'm not in a state bordering Canada, but yes, I am in the United States.

Lindy
I avoid Canada. CAnadian smug is as bad as CAlifornia smog. It even rolls down into this forum.

uncle phil

No, Wyo

No way, Ioway

I'm in Sout' Dahkoda.
No one would expect what I am visiting to be in South Dakota. My namesake is close to Big Red, though.

BadNick

are you west of the big wet thing that goes right down the middle of South Dakota?

(i.e., made up of Lake Oahe, Lake Sharpe, et al)

nh2040

So is it nebraska? You said you betcha

BadNick

nh, thanks for guessing and I hope you give it another shot. But read below:

Lindy

No, not in Belle Fourche.

Not north of Interstate 90.

Nope, I'm not west of all that water.

BadNick

...still tring to make sense of the Big Red clue

are you west of Rt. 81?

Lindy

not crimson, not scarlet...

And I'm east of US 81 Hwy.

BadNick

well then you must be in Vermillion. Is there a reason why? Hyperion Refinery project? USD?

uncle phil

gotta go with nick on this one...

BadNick

thank you for your support, unc

ps: I better shut up and think of the next place to go hide since I have no ideas at this moment

...awaiting Lindy's confirmation or her demand for further guesses about her location in or near Vermillion

Lindy

I am in Vermillion, and I'm fiddling around tooting my own horn at the National Music Museum, formerly known as America's Shrine to Music Museum. Home Page for the National Music Museum Here in Vermillion, SD, is arguably the finest and most comprehensive collection of musical instruments (over 13,000 at last count) in the whole world. This collection trumps the collections of the Ashmolean in London and the Smithsonian, even if it is out in the middle of nowhere.
Sorry this reply was so long in coming. Nick, your turn.

Lindy

BadNick

Lindy, I love that!

ps: I have a nice old brass trumpet and a Fender Mustang under my bed. Tonight I'll try to have a dream of them coming out and marching around my bed playing John Phillip Souza's version of "When the saints come marching in..." as I dance around with a beautiful Hollywood actress, or my wife, whoever shows up in my dream first.

I'll find a new place soon....

uncle phil

are you in a pickle?

BadNick

funny, I was just thinking that. If you keep guessing, and I keep saying "no" I wonder where I would eventually be narrowed down to? But I am thinking of a place as hard as I can. Soon.

Ourcrazymodern?

Patience of diamonds...

Is the place you are a natural feature (vs man-made)? ...i.e., lake, mountain, vs building, town, etc.

BadNick

yes NH and EH. I'm standing on a man-made feature which has some superlative significance.
