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.

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?

BadNick · 04-23-2009, 03:45 AM

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.

Are you in Cuba?

...personal story related to Cuba: my dear father-in-law passed away recently so his 3 children were dividing up some of his personal possessions, furniture, art works, etc. Among other items, my wife ended up with a somewhat strange abstract painting, one of the key figures in it seems to be a giant penis, it's by a Cuban artist and no one else wanted it so she took it just to throw up on a wall in our 3rd floor hallway or in one of the kids' rooms. My inlaws purchased it on one of their "art exchange and appreciation" trips to Cuba a few years ago (yes, in spite of State Dept. bans on travel there). My boy didn't like it either so I hung it up next to my computer desk. A couple days ago my wife googled the artists name and found that he's quite famous and some of his oil painting sell at major art auctions for $50,000 to $100,000 so we figure this is worth at least $20,000...plus he autographed it personally thanking my inlaws by name so from watching Antique Roadshow I figure that adds "provenance". One person's trash is another person's treasure.

I am in Cuba. I'll tell you exactly where if you Fed-Ex me that painting. Not usually that found of penis', well other then my own, but sounds like I'd like this one.

BadNick · 04-23-2009, 04:15 PM

Mariel?

The port of Mariel is the nearest Cuban port to the United States. In 1980, some 125,000 Cubans left Mariel and went to the United States in what is known as the Mariel boatlift. While many reached the USA, several died while travelling through the ocean. Those involved became known as "Marielitos". Mariel Hemingway is named after the town.

Tully Mars · 04-23-2009, 04:56 PM

No and no.

Let's see if I can help you guys out some. Sometimes you have to think outside of the box... or island. Which ever the case maybe.

Jetée · 04-23-2009, 05:54 PM
