BadNick, yes, I'm somewhere in Rome. Though I've never been there in person, I might have been.
Lindy, Naples would put me south of the 40, wouldn't it? uncle phil, you could say I'm a little landlocked.

"Landlocked" shouldn't confuse you, uncle phil, countrywise. BadNick, you've garnered two yesses. I daresay no baloney gets stored where I am, but maybe I should google that...

I'm sorry, uncle phil, I miscounted. BadNick has three yays under his belt. Europe, Italy, Rome. The other bits were only clues, as was that.

oops...I thought that was a win for unc.
are you at the Catacombs of Prætextatus? (These are found along the via Appia, and were built at the end of 2nd century. They consist of a vast underground burial area, at first in pagan then in Christian use, housing various tombs of Christian martyrs. In the oldest parts of the complex may be found the "cubiculum of the coronation", with a rare depiction for that period of Christ being crowned with thorns, and a 4th century painting of Susanna and the old men in the allegorical guise of a lamb and wolves.) |

Okay, phil, the address is on the appian way. You might have thought of Mr. French so you could approach 136. Go for it, if you aren't really done yet.
