...instead of 100. Pleh.

Only a quick not to say that Pennsylvania isn't landlocked. There's Lake Erie to the left of it on the map.



PS - I don't have an E in my first name

I see Jodon stalling on 99 entries.

I'll do a 42 for the guides birthday in April as always.

Don't think this is plugged in.

And the Delaware River makes Philadelphia a major port city...

Did I ever tell you guys that Delaware was once a part of Pennsylvania so that William Penn's colony *would* have plenty of access to the sea. But for some reason he gave it away and the Blue Hen State was created...


Little known fact - The University of Delaware Blue Hens are the only female sports mascot in NCAA Division I sports.

Help me, my keyboard is distributing random facts today...

It's inland. Lake Erie is an inland fresh water lake. Admit it Jimi you do not have a maritime climate or lifestyle no matter how much you protest. I've read the articles

Quoting from www.inventpa.com :

"Over 3,000 ships load and offload at the Port of Philadelphia each year -- making it one of the busiest ports on the Atlantic coast. The Port of Philadelphia handles more than one-quarter of the entire North Atlantic District's annual tonnage, and is the fourth largest port in the U.S. for the handling of imported goods."

I quote a very reliable source:

The climate of south-central Pennsylvania is officially classified as 'humid CONTINENTAL'. What this means is that there are four distinct seasons - too hot, too cold, very nice, and quite pleasant.

Also I've looked up the Tidal Limit of the Delaware River which states that this is From the PA state line upstream to the U.S. Route 1 bridge. No idea where that is but is seems like Penn state counts as being inland.

You guys are Is it really that important whether or not Pennsylvania has a maritime history or not? (it's not)
Ohio... that's a different story. We have a the southern side of Lake Erie, the Scioto, the Ohio, the Canals, the Muskingum, the Cuyahoga. The Ohio is connected to the Mississippi, and is one of the most heavily used rivers in the US. Now, while the Ohio's origin is in Pennsylvania, it has the same name as my state of Ohio.

True not that important.
Mind you I can see the sea, not some inland lake or river, from my office window.

I can also taste the salt in the air.

Smell the seaweed in the breeze and benefit from all of this in the depths of winter unless I venture inland or uphill.

I don't like the taste of salt.

When I'm not near it in the air I get homesick. Seriously being born abd raised in a seaport does that to you.

Crazy.

The link to Trotter's Curse in your entry, you link to the Isle of Wight Space Programme entry. It should link to A259058

Not any more it doesn't

Look at yer code again. It looks like you copied too much of the phrase 'to A259058' in.
