West of 115W?

BadNick · 06-19-2008, 01:52 PM

Tull,
I think since he said he's east of the Mississippi, he must be way east of 115W. Throw away all of your navigation devices and get a good navigator

unc,
Since you like golf, are you at Augusta National in Augusta, GA?

uncle phil · 06-19-2008, 01:54 PM

Believe it or not I have my pilots license and I do sail. And I have a Garmin 60CSx with the map source software. I've just got this construction going on right out my window, non-stop pounding night and day for weeks now. I went to make coffee this morning and waited and waited, finally realized- you have to add water as well as coffee grounds.

I'd go stay at a hotel at this point if it weren't for my two dogs.

/ end thread jack, sorry

BadNick · 06-19-2008, 02:13 PM

sorry to hear of your problems, Tul. I won't make negative comments about your navigation abilities again since that noise would drive me nuts.

Tully Mars · 06-19-2008, 02:24 PM

I really didn't take it negative. Thought it was kind of funny, course for some reason I'm finding humor in odd things lately.

But I don't want to be mucking up the gears for everyone else.

5-6 weeks now they have to be done soon.

city?

BadNick · 06-20-2008, 05:31 AM

Are you in Europe?

...this game suddenly reminded me of a TV show I really liked when I was a kid...so that's ~50 years ago. It was "What in the World" done by the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology...still one of my favorite museums in Philly. Here's a blurb about it:

""...What in the World?® was the Museum's popular weekly half-hour television program which was first seen in 1951 and which ran for 14 years. By the early 60s it was one of the oldest programs on television, bringing positive reviews and a steady stream of fanmail to the Museum which continues to this day.

On each What in the World?® program, four or five unidentified objects were presented to a panel of experts who were asked to guess what each piece was, where it came from, how old it was, and how it was used. Objects were selected from storerooms and had never before been seen by the panel. Before the experts guessed, the audience was told what the object was, and, during the course of the program, could watch the thought processes of real --and often fallible!-- anthropologists and archaeologists....""

I don't think it was this show but a similar show where the panel were blindfolded and had to evaluate the objects just by touch and sometimes they were fakes.

Tully Mars · 06-20-2008, 06:01 AM
