BadNick 01-18-2009 07:41 PM

Are you at Fort Bliss?...which is actually in Texas and New Mexico. Maybe fixin', rebuilding, improving military equipment?


PS: If I wasn't an Eagles fan and could be more unbiased, I'd say that was a good football game.

uncle phil 01-19-2009 04:51 AM

nope and nope...and both were good football games...

BadNick 01-19-2009 07:27 AM

Are you in New Mexico?

BadNick 01-20-2009 05:22 PM

I think there's only one left. Are you in Arkansas?

Tully Mars 01-20-2009 05:31 PM

Louisiana? Have we ruled that out?

BadNick 01-20-2009 05:57 PM

Depends if by "coastal state" that you asked previously and unc answered "nope" includes the Gulf Coast. I calculated that LA is excluded, but we'll find out quite soon.

Those were my thoughts when you asked Texas. Like you I'm running out of states.

BadNick 01-20-2009 06:12 PM

ahhh, I missed that I missed that one.


....Texas >>>> hi G.B.!!!

Hey, hey, hey... good-bye!

uncle phil 01-21-2009 03:24 AM

nope, guys...

there are a few states left...

Tully Mars 01-21-2009 04:39 AM

I see a little corner of Illinois, other then that I'm out of states left of the Mississippi and south of 40.

BadNick 01-21-2009 04:43 AM

ah yes, that little corner of IL. Otherwise I have to make a list of what we already excluded and compare it to that cute little map because it seems to me we guessed all states not coastal that are below the 40 and west of miss...but of course I could be wrong again.

uncle phil 01-21-2009 05:46 AM

i fucked up on the 40 degree thing...wish i knew where that little map thingee was...

anyhoo, i'm located in the state of nebraska...

carry on...

Tully Mars 01-21-2009 06:37 AM

Nebraska State Capitol building?

uncle phil 01-21-2009 08:07 AM

Tully Mars 01-21-2009 09:55 AM

Military base?

BadNick 01-21-2009 10:03 AM

unc, I have that cute latitude map saved on my photobucket account so if you ever want to see it just ask....or what I found is that if you google "map of united states latitude" and search "images" it will be the first link you see.

I think unc did say he was at a government facility.....now in Nebraska.

Are you at the K Street Government Records Facility in Lincoln? K Street Government Records Facility Lincoln Nebraska

Hey, I listened to a couple of the musical ensembles at the Offutt A.F. Base site...good stuff!

Tully Mars 01-22-2009 02:50 AM

Alright, where am I?

*Warning* I'll be around this morning until about 6:30 (my time, CST) then have a day of tours scheduled. Don't worry Phil I've been to these ruins several times. So, if I don't get lost I should be back by 6-7 this evening.

uncle phil 01-22-2009 03:16 AM

lajes field in the azores?

Tully Mars 01-22-2009 03:18 AM

Oh, so close! Yet so far away, no.

uncle phil 01-22-2009 03:24 AM

EH?

Tully Mars 01-22-2009 03:28 AM

Yep, EH.

uncle phil 01-22-2009 03:28 AM

Tully Mars 01-22-2009 03:43 AM

No not an island.

And I may have messed up. I've checked three maps this morning and still can't tell you if I'm in the NH or SH. The best source I have says SH by .5 degrees.

So I'm changing my answer to SH from NH.

uncle phil 01-22-2009 04:33 AM

africa?

BadNick 01-22-2009 04:44 AM

Arabian Peninsula? <<< oops, I see that's solidly in the NH, so nevermind. Africa seems like the only "non island" in the EH/SH but I'm looking for others.

Tully Mars 01-22-2009 06:12 PM

Yep, Africa.

BadNick 01-22-2009 07:54 PM

Are you in Kenya?

Tully Mars 01-23-2009 01:10 AM

I am in Kenya

uncle phil 01-23-2009 03:13 AM

a city in kenya?

Tully Mars 01-23-2009 04:48 AM

I think most people would call this a village. But I'm not at a geo. feature or a business. I'm at a location where people live.

BadNick 01-23-2009 06:14 AM

You sly fox, you....Tul, you gotta be in Kogelo, the home village of President BO's father.

But that's not where I am.

Nicks got it I'm in Obama's dad's village in Kogelo.

You're up Nick.

BadNick 01-24-2009 01:10 PM

OK, where in the world am I this time?

uncle phil 01-25-2009 04:31 AM

red lion, pa?

Tully Mars 01-25-2009 04:40 AM

Geneva, Switzerland?

BadNick 01-25-2009 08:51 AM

I used to eat breakfast in Red Lion on the way to small game hunting in that area, but I'm not there now. Sadly, I've not been to Geneva yet and I'm not there now, though I drank too much of it when I was in Amsterdam and left parts of my innards on the streets of the red light district.

uncle phil 01-25-2009 09:14 AM

EH?

BadNick 01-25-2009 10:45 AM

uncle phil 01-25-2009 11:24 AM

BadNick 01-25-2009 11:27 AM

yes NH....so obviously I'm not in Paraguay, though there's nothing wrong with Paraguay, I'd love to be in Paraguay. ps: my daughter just sent me an email from Costa Rica so she's there but I'm not.

uncle phil 01-25-2009 11:28 AM

BadNick 01-25-2009 11:37 AM

BadNick 01-25-2009 05:39 PM

In a city, but I'm inside a specific well known building in a city, looking out at the sky all around me.

Tully Mars 01-26-2009 01:19 AM

Nope, not at the Capital Obs. << wrong city

uncle phil 01-26-2009 12:22 PM

something related to the '76 olympics in montreal?

BadNick 01-26-2009 01:54 PM

right city, wrong event.

Think back to a major event in Montreal well before the '76 Olympics and this place is closely associated with that.

uncle phil 01-26-2009 02:02 PM

not the old "sun life" building?

BadNick 01-26-2009 07:57 PM

you are correct, it is not that one.

uncle phil 01-27-2009 03:38 AM

the biosphere?

Tully Mars 01-27-2009 04:27 AM

Jarry Park Stadium?

BadNick 01-27-2009 05:07 AM

not the stadium, Tul. unc found me....I'm inside the biosphere built for the 1967 World's Fair in Montreal aka Expo 67, and it was part of the United States Pavilion.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...%20I/dome8.jpghttp://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...%20I/dome6.jpghttp://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...20I/dome10.jpg

The America Pavilion for the 1967 Expo in Montreal was as high as a 20-storey building, and soon became the focal point on the Île Sainte-Hélène site. In the space of six months it was visited by 5.3 million people, making it the busiest pavilion at Expo '67. Its designer, R. Buckminster Fuller, was the inventor of the pioneer geodesic domes, which are the most efficient structures ever created in terms of material weight. It measures 76 metres in diameter, and 62 metres in height. During the Exposition, it contained 6 inner floors housing American artifacts. The structure was covered by a transparent outer shell composed of tinted acrylic panels, which later burned in a 1976 fire, shutting down the building for fourteen years. In 1990, Environment Canada purchased the site to turn it into an interactive museum, showcasing and exploring the water ecosystems of the Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence River regions. The new museum was completed in 1995 and is currently in operation.

The Biosphère (45°30′50.73″N 73°31′53.38″W / 45.5140917, -73.5314944) of Environment Canada is a museum in Montreal dedicated to water and the environment. It is located at Parc Jean-Drapeau, on Saint Helen's Island in the building of the United States pavilion for the 1967 World Exhibition Expo 67.
