Where David Is (And You Aren’t (Probably))
With the crappy ol’ cell phone, I have taken a picture of one of the places I’ve visited while I’ve been out on the annual sales meeting.
Cool, huh?
For the record, though, since I’m extending the trip a bit, this is ending up being damned near as expensive as my typical vacation. Ouch.
Bonus points to anyone who recognizes the place. Big bonus points.
Comments & Trackbacks
Hmmmm… Old stone fortifications, Spanish colonial era, palm trees, beach…
That really doesn’t narrow it down all that much, dude.
Texas Gulf Coast? Between Galveston and Louisiana?
(Don’t mind me. I’m just pulling this one out of my ass.)
Nope, it doesn’t narrow it down much at all. Which is why I’ll be shocked if anyone pulls out the right answer.
I’m looking for something fairly specific, though, so here are some hints: go a bit further east. Construction on the fortification was started in 1672.
Castilo de San Marcos.
St. Augustine?
I’d claim to be pulling that out of my ass, but my wife says mine is missing these days.
You’re both right (with Robert being the more specifically correct). Castillo de San Marcos is in St. Augustine.
Sorry to hear about your ass. It’s sad to lose your ass.
The weird thing is, I can’t imagine where I lost it. We went to a casino last November, but I came out $22 ahead.
You didn’t have to rub it in.
Sorry ‘bout that.
If it makes you feel better, I got all sorts of soggy in a driving rain today. Probably looked pretty darned funny.
I wanted to say that but I haven’t been there in way too many years and talked myself out of it.
Do they still do the rifle shows?
Niagara Falls Casino been verrrrrry good to me. I could buy a new ass (well at least until the wife went on a shoe buying spree).
I’m impressed. I really thought it would be much harder for people to figure out.
Y’all rock.
Even now that it’s been guessed, I still have no freaking idea where you are. I am always the last one to see Waldo. *sigh*
They have this thing called the “Internet”, David. You should look into it.
But in fairness, your original challenge was indeed, challenging. Knowing the construction date and the general geographic location made it trivial.
I decided to go for the extra bonus points, David. <a href="http://creativedestruction.wordpress.com/2007/07/16/wheres-david/">Here’s where you are exactly</i> - probably down to 20 feet or so.
That’s right. I have satellites. Fear me.
Nuts, kludged the link.
Let’s try again.
Dude, I feared you before you had access to satellite intel.
Now you bloody well scare the crap out of me.
Double comment, but what the hell…
Almost as much as I would be scared of this guy, really.
Well, now we know why poor David hasn’t been posting. We’ll miss you, big guy.
