No and no.

Not in what I'd consider a well known town. I never heard of it prior to a couple days ago.

great clue...

Nope, you're reading the clues wrong but it really wasn't much of a clue.

Are "Katie & Kelly" there, too, for you?



Towards Tully:

Looking at this handy-dandy map, are you within any of the palette of gray counties?

(And if I unfairly uncovered your possible ocular condition of selective color-blindness, those counties of which I refer to include, and are limited to: Clark, Clay, Dearborn, Decatur, Floyd, Fountain, Franklin, Greene, Jefferson, Jennings, Montgomery, Ohio, Owen, Parke, Putnam, Ripley, Scott, Sullivan, Switzerland, Vermillion, Vigo)

Are you sure never heard of Southbend 'til a few weeks ago?

Guessing no to my rhetorical question, guessing yes to my implied question of you being there.

No, I'm not interested in that job. But it maybe one of the only jobs available in the area. And Yes I am in Elkhart. You found me!

I'm in Elkhart because when I found "the flag" last time I was watching a special on Elkhart and how the collapse of the RV industry has devastated the town. I found it interesting and sad, very sad, to hear how many people went from middle class to dirt poor within a few short months. One day people had jobs, decent paying jobs, making RV's and RV parts. Then seemingly overnight the bottom fell out and they were out of work. It started with the rise in gas prices last summer. People weren't that interested in buying an RV that gets 4mpg when gas was 4 bucks a gallon. Then gas prices went down but just as that happened the financial crisis hit no one could get a loan to buy what they were building.

Sad, but they're working hard to get new industries to more there. They have all the infrastructure for major manufacturing in place and have had a few businesses such as wind turbine manufactures move into the area. So while it was sad to watch it was also up lifting to hear so many who've lost so much take an "not going down without a fight" attitude.

So that's why I was in Elkhart.

You're up Nick. Where are you going with your bad self?

---------- Post added at 07:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 AM ----------

Nope, Nick found me. And yes I've heard of Southbend. In fact I know of at least five Southbends. Two of them in Washington state, how that works I have no idea.

At least I know that Elkhart, the town, is within the appropriate county of same name.

And besides being the "RV Capitol of the World", wiki says it is "The City with a Heart".

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

Also didn't know this:

On February 9, 2009 President Barack Obama spoke to a crowd of thousands at Concord High School in an attempt to bolster support for his nearly trillion dollar economic stimulus package.

I didn't miss something did I? I mean you never guessed this county, right?

Nope, I just know cities that don't belong where they currently are, like Kansas City, MO

Ok, Just checking I do miss stuff... a lot.

Just this morning I heard a news report about some mid-Western manufacturing plants that have been converted to wind power component mfg. and now they are the national hub of that component for the wind power industry. Ideally, it would be great if industries that become obsolete can be replaced with ones that have upcoming potential, but too often that does not seem to happen.


OK, where in the world am I?

Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka?

dalhart, tx?

nope, neither of those...and I feel sorry for people in both of those places, though I feel more sorry for the ones in Sri Lanka since they have a much harder time getting out of their predicament vs. most Texans who we'd rather they just stay were they are.

NH?

yes

WH?

yes

canadia?

estados unidos?

no, unc
yes mac

clue: where I am is related to today

West coast?

yes yes

landlocked state?

washington?

yes WA

a city?

Seattle, where the idea of Earth day was born?

yes

...I said this yesterday and yesterday's gone



OOPS! ...yes, Seattle the place where the seed was sown for Earth Day. You got it, Tul. Dive! Dive!

Earth Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In September 1969 at a conference in Seattle, Washington, U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin announced that in spring 1970 there would be a nationwide grassroots demonstration on the environment. This occurred during a time of great concern about overpopulation and when there was a strong movement towards "Zero Population Growth."

Nelson viewed the stabilization of the nation's population as an important aspect of environmentalism and later said:

"The bigger the population gets, the more serious the problems become ... We have to address the population issue. The United Kingdom, with the U.S. supporting it, took the position in Cairo in 1994 that every country was responsible for stabilizing its own population. It can be done. But in this country, it's phony to say 'I'm for the environment but not for limiting immigration.'"

Senator Nelson first proposed the nationwide environmental protest to thrust the environment onto the national agenda.” "It was a gamble," he recalls, "but it worked."

Five months before the first April 22 Earth Day, on Sunday, November 30, 1969, The New York Times carried a lengthy article by Gladwin Hill reporting on the rising hysteria of "global cooling".

So yes to Seattle?

Tul, sorry for my delayed response but right now I'm sitting in a black hole where the time dilation is messing with our geouniversal time synchronization. Before I crossed this event horizon, you did find me in Seattle.

damn, you're good...

...but not Wilson Goode, the Philadelphia Bomber Mayor

When he said it was related to the date 4-21 I almost asked Seattle first but thought well let's narrow it down to the west coast before getting ahead of my self.

Ok, where am I?

sorry if you guys thought that was "too easy" but I had an emotional outbreak about the Earth Day thing, even decided not to cut my grass yesterday.

WH?

We all know you're easy.

WH, yes.

nh?

NH, yep.

us?

Not in the US

south america?

No not S.A.

Candya?

Not Canada

Central America?

According to Wiki the country I'm in is not in CA... But I had to look.

Down island, as they say. So yes.
