LA. (Lower Alabama.) Actually the Florida panhandle. But I’m not from here!

Hey, yourself, **Cub Mistress**! Wonder how many of the Mid-TN crowd will speak up here.

Hey Neighbor…  
Wyboo, north end of Lake Marion here. Summerton mailing address, but really Summerton is about 14 miles away from me.

I live pretty much right smack in the middle of nowhere.

And love it.

Second your sentiments about the primary. Jeez, I’m sorry, I’m basically a conservative, but I can’t stand any of them. It’s a good thing I don’t watch TV, I’ve seen the non-stop garbage ads constantly on the tube at my mother’s house (She lives about 8 miles from me by road, 1 mile by water, still in the middle of nowhere).

Yes, I do. And I remember watching people who were stranded in their cars on LSD for _hours_. And I remember thinking, you _dumbass_! LSD is on the Gold Coast! Get out of your car and walk for two minutes and you are in a luxury hotel bar!!

ETA: for non-Chicagoans, LSD is Lake Shore Drive, a road that runs along the most luxurious strip of the city. There is no better place on the planet to be stranded.

Either **Skammer** or **Brynda** would be my guess.

Good guesses!

I just had the idea to start another thread on the theme of this one, and decided just to mention my idea here. If anyone is uncomfortable revealing some specific location out of privacy concerns, perhaps a link to their local newspaper’s “news of the weird” would work. One might live some distance from the city/town where the paper is located and still consider it their “local paper.” In any case it would help locate them somewher on the planet! 😉

If that privacy concern isn’t all that heavy, maybe a visit to [Some Geography Trivia Fun: Degree Confluences](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=554045) would make a cool follow-up to this thread.

Take your 2nd left off Pond Road onto Brentwood Ave. My house is the first one on the left. It’s a white ranch with brick trim and attached garage. I am located just off the kitchen in the office space I carved out from the dining room. Please wipe your feet, grab a beer, and give that split pea soup a stir on your way by. We’ll eat soon.

Washington Parish, Louisiana. About where the **A** (in Washington) is if you’re looking at a map. Not from here, my skin needs humidity and I need trees.

Sorry about the chilly temps in other places, I’m thinking of turning on the attic fan to draw some cooler air in as it’s so muggy here.
