Fifty Plus (50+) - Hey folks, I am really interested . . . in where you are located

Hey folks, I am really interested . . . in where you are located

Sometimes I see a post - "I saw a wild trigolasauraus yesterday. We have a lot of them around HERE!

But, I have no clue where HERE is!

If you go to your

"User Control Panel"

"Edit Profile"

and near the bottom is a place for "Location"

Now, you don't need to put your home address in, but a state or region would be GREAT!

That location will show just below your Avatar.

Thanks.

Mine already does but do you have any idea where Tustin, CA is? :rolleyes:

I'm at the center of the known universe.

Actually, you are the one person I don't care about your location!:p

Ouch -- that's gotta hurt! :o

Well, I was born and raised in the San Diego area, and went to the then brand new Disneyland in nearby Anaheim shortly after its opening, and, yes, I do know where Tustin is. I also have relatives who went to college in Whittier (they are Quakers) and some who lived in Alhambra.

I also worked for the US Forest Service in the Cleveland National Forest, which had at that time, one of its regional district offices in nearby Santa Ana.:p

Then you are one of 3 people who know where it is. I usually tell folks I live near Disneyland but now that it's the evil empire (at least in my mind) I'll tell them I live near Newport Beach since it's now a TV show and at least teens will have an idea.

Ouch -- that's gotta hurt! :o

Naw - DG knows I am kidding!:)

Ouch -- that's gotta hurt! :o

I expected it.:D

But I must remember to respect my ELDERS better.

Perhaps you were the wild trigolasauraus that someone saw yesterday?

Sure! It's near the old blimp base.

I'm feeling a lot better after reading this.

I think one of my sisters lives in Tustin. Maybe it's Irvine.

Hey 'Fox. Dude! I'm "WANTED" in the state of Wyoming. . .something about killing Angus calves. Man, I swear all I ate there was mice and crickets. Take a look at their Varmit Hunting Regs brochure, that's MY portrait! I'll share that I'm staying in West [Occupied] Virginia with my cousin Mendel.

Mine already does but do you have any idea where Tustin, CA is? :rolleyes:

It would help if you stated the province. Nova Scotia? :rolleyes:

When I mention that my two oldest bicycles were made in Vienna, my several coworkers from the Washington D.C. area typically react, "I didn't know there were any frame makers in Virginia." :)

I'm lost. But my alter ego, Blackberry, lives in Charlottesville, VA.

OK

I'm at the center of the known universe.

It's true, If you drive east of San Diego as far as Jacumba, you can literally see the edge of the earth and watch it drop down into hell. There is a tower at the edge where you may peer down into the abyss.

Ken, You have me confused as well. I know where Ontario, CA is. I've flown out of the Ontario, California airport a number of times. It's right next to Rancho Cucamonga. And I know most of the other cities around there, Claremont, Pomona, Chino, Kaiser, Fontana. But I've never heard of Toronto. Is it one of the new gated communities??? ;)

Funnily enough- I was beginning to think the same. There are so many new names posting at present that I was beginning to think we are attracting the younger set. I am certain that a few are younger- just trying to draw on our experience- but it does help if new members "Announce" themselves aswell with a brief posting of what bike they ride- how fit they think they are and what is their Favourite pie.

But I've never heard of Toronto. Is it one of the new gated communities??? ;)

With the ever-tightening border security it is becoming increasingly gated, from the USA. :(

I never have liked these 2-letter postal abbreviations.

Very wise. I read that of all the other countries that the U.S. might attack, Canada was deemed the one to give us the fiercest fight.

I listed my location for a good stretch before I changed it to "A typical city..."
I live coastside on the San Francisco Bay Area peninsula.

Southern Arizona

I live right next to the cornfield in Illinois.

For San Francisco, perhaps it should be an atypical city involved in an atypical day dream...;)

OK you will get me in a big fight again but I have this thing going on with the BF guys in the Regional So Cal thread about Tustin and Irvine... although each is right next door they are miles apart in other ways. I am from Tustin... I refused to be from Irvine.. even when I lived in Irvine!

Long story and CJB if reading this - I kid!!!! :p

OK, added mine and posted so I can make sure it displays.

Mine has always been there - - with a modifier depending on the season. I affectionately refer to our little corner at the edge of the known universe as the Greater Tum Tum area.

Well, now, I don't live in SF, proper, mind you, but I'm not sure how typical my little corner of the world is either :lol:

'Gee shared. . .

>>> I'm at the center of the known universe

Interesting. From an astrophysics theoretical perspective, every point in the universe posseses the characteristic of "centerness". Yep, West [Occupied] Virginia is at the center of the known universe, too. 'Course if you know about the place you'll agree I'll bet. . .the US' best kept secret!

No, it is not our border security, but yours. As for our fierce fight, you could destroy our military in a morning. But we would fiercely resist your occupation (where have I heard that before). We would write nasty letters. Eventually, in perhaps 50 years, you would make us a state and grant us citizenship, then we would vote for candidates for president who would otherwise have lost (the 2050 equivalent of Gore or Kerry). We would have the balance of power! That would really piss you off. :D So, it is not worth it.

Huachuca . . . Pronounced 'WAAA! Tjook A' . . . and barely north of the United States of Mexico!

Nope. If we give legal citizenship to the 30 million or so illegal immigrants from south of the border, they will have the balance of power, and could markedly change our society.

I live right next to the cornfield in Illinois.

Wow, we're neighbors then! I live next to the corn field, too!

I'm at the center of the known universe.

I'm pretty sure that I live at the epicenter of the known universe.

I'm in northeastern lower Michigan on Lake Huron right by the first knuckle of the index finger.

I like to say that I live 8 miles from where we rivet together Boeing 747s, and snap and glue together Boeing 787s. If you are missing your carbon fiber, Boeing has it.

You have only to move to So Cal to know that you don't have to grant legal status to the illegal immigrants for them to have the power... I can no longer walk into any store or use any device, phone ATM that I am not first asked something in spanish... Society here is already remarkedly changed! I feel like I am the foreigner. I can go on and on and on... but well just won't. Don't get me started! Yes I am an angry, grumpy old woman! :mad:

But we would fiercely resist your occupation . . .Pshaaaaw! You STILL have the Queen on your currency :D

Mine already does but do you have any idea where Tustin, CA is? :rolleyes:

Pam, isn't Tustin just south of the Elfin Forest?:rolleyes:

And here you belong to the Bike Club of Irvine! :D

I am east of Tustin and north of the Statue of Liberty

Speaking on a WWIII perspective ... and if ICBMs are pointed at strategic locations within the Continental United States ... then you could say I live at Ground Zero.

I've always listed mine. When people mention they rode in warm weather this time of year I want to know where that is......it sure isn't around here. They're predicting 28F Friday morning with 15 mph winds and I have a bike ride scheduled:(

Eugene Oregon, 100 miles south of Portland.

That's Eugene in the picture, to the west is the Coast Range, then the Pacific Ocean in the top of the frame. Beautiful and hilly riding between Eugene and the beaches.

DnvrFox,

I'm just a few miles NW of where you live. I haven't posted here much, still getting used to the place as I lurk and learn. I posted a question about needing a softer bike a while back and got some good feedback. Wound up buying a Specialized Roubaix and fitting it with a Brooks Swift seat and it has made a huge difference to my riding enjoyment.

One of my regular rides goes east on the C-470 trail and then south on the Cherry Creek trail, right by your place. It's a nice ride except for the traffic lights near Park Meadows Mall.

I rode up Deer Creek and High Grade to Pleasant Park last Saturday and didn't feel like I'd been run over by a truck when I got home. 53 miles round trip from my front door. That High Grade road is about as steep as I care to tackle right now.

My favorite pie is blueberry...

Best Regards,
Ted

I lived in Salt Lake County until three years ago, when my area was annexed by Murray city. Taxes have been rising, and services falling, ever since.:( They do take quite good care of their section of the Jordan parkway Trail, though.

I used to live at Holly and Orchard.

I have done the Deer Creek and High Grade thingy just once, and that was enough by me. I got buzzed by motorcycles doing at least 80 mph (or so it seemed to me!).

We are the subdivision just east of the new Pine Lane Bridge. If you pass the Parker Rec Center, you have just passed where I live.

If you see a Fred on a yellow Lemond BA with a huge red wedge, say "Hi!" as you pass me.
