are you on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?

...that divergent plate tectonics place?

Tully Mars

I'm north, I think, of that spot.


I'm in a very specific location.

OK, little research tells me I'm west of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. From what I read I'm not sure it's possible to really be north of it. maybe, but I'm certainly west of it headed toward New York City.

Maybe on the Mid Atlantic Ridge in Iceland?

Tully Mars

No, not on any geographic feature.

Light and oxygen are in short supply. Oddly enough when I turn on the light I brought there's some really cool things to see.

Tully Mars

I seem to be getting conflicting info. I'm either on the grand banks or south of there depending on the site I check. If I'm not within the grand banks I'm close.

When I'm found you'll be able to check the lat. and long. and judge for yourself.

No much closer to the GB.

While the things around me are old, they're not old in terms of mankind. I'd say more antique then old.

No, but I'll take the Titanic since I'm sitting on her bow.

Actually I was on the Titanic and was saved. Ended up back in Europe and have told myself I'll never take another ocean liner again. I've bought stock in this new company, Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei. As soon as they get their rigid airship the Hindenburg up and going I'm catching it's first flight to the US. Hope that goes better.

Your up!

good guess, unc.

So until tomorrow morning I guess I'll also go listen to some Zeppelin...and a little Cream...if I get too spaced out I'll throw on some Mahavishnu Orchestra. g'day mates.

Tully Mars

Gez, I think my clues are obvious at times yet I miss the most basic references when made by others.

Plant, Page... Zeppelin... Duh.

See you both in the morning.

WH?

...and yes on the John McLaughlin. I was lucky to see John & Mahavishnu live at Temple Univ. Music Festival that used to be held at their suburban Phila. Ambler campus...a relatively small venue, great stuff! I also saw Weather Report there, as well as other guitar virtuosi like Andrés Segovia & Carlos Montoya...oh yeah, George Benson.
