...no,not JFK,but our esteemed membership....on this forum...Some do not post from where they reside...that means they do not divulge their home state are area of residence..is it a pride factor ,or maybe a hide and watch attitude?..[:o)]

    I am in Middleport Ohio, out behind Rutland near Langsville, Parkinson Road, just past the sheep field, around the hair pin corner, too the top of the hill. How much more accurate do you want me to get?

    If you put my home address into Google Earth it puts the X on Tony Kopec's barn two miles from my house. That is close enough for a 10 Megaton device to get me....[:D]

    I just think it would be nice to know what area of our country that our members reside...not looking for trouble,but folks you socialize with..shouldn't have a problem showing their location in a profile...

    Have you noticed a commonality amongst the posters who do not divulge their home location? As pertaining to their tone of response?

    I live the middle of a 80 acre piece of the finest place on earth. North of Yosemite, south of Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada foothills, Jamestown to be exact.

    I agree. It's simple to at least put your state in your profile. It irritates me when somebody says "It's 80 degrees here" or "We had a tornado here", etc., and never say where "here" is.

    I have always divulged that info.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Damascus, Oregon. Basically the SE edge of a PDX metro area map.

    Look quick, because my lawsuits go into court April 15th seeking to disincorporate the city.

    Never snuffed a city before. Its on my Bucket List. [;)][:D]

    I'm the mayor of Carson Washington, and proud of it.
    The only thing I won't divulge, is where the still house is.
