And I did not look .
I'm an Orioles fan but live 90 miles from Cincy.

He spent only six years of his twenty-one year playing career in Baltimore but what a six years it was!

And his HOF plaque has him wearing an O’s cap.

The answer will probably surprise most folks.

because of it's size.

My second guess would be someplace in Oklahoma, where I couldn't name a single county.

we have the 19 Pueblos here, although they'd be scattered around several different counties.

Frank Robinson for the Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles.

Take a guess...

People drive through it in “Repo Man,” and ants nest there in “Them,” so how navigable could that river be?

I think the Rio Grande is narrow and not all that deep in Albuquerque’s vicinity.

Trinity River

(Hint : it was settled by Europeans in 1565)

And a beautiful city to visit!

And one of my fav cities to visit!

Sure like to visit one day....

I do hope you make that visit.

Needles to Lake Havasu City?

What I was aiming for was the Susquehanna, at 444 miles, is the longest river entirely within the U.S. that has no commercial traffic, while the Colorado no longer has any shipping, but is home to commercial "traffic" in the recreational sense.

My embarrassment is intensified by having lived in Colorado for 50 years, and now crossing the Susquehanna a couple times each week.

I bundgled the phrasing of the question, which ought to have included, "entirely within the US.", resulting in The Susquehanna River.

There are 11 in total.

lead (Pb) sodium (Na),; tin ( Sn) Mercury but I can’t remember the symbol. Can’t think of any more. I used to have that chart memorized- dang that was eons ago😁

Or it's Freddie. You decide.

Wolf

Tungsten W
Iron Fe
Copper Cu
Antimony Sb

...( K), Antimony (Sb), Iron (Fe), Tungsten (W), Copper (Cu).
Also, the symbol for mercury is Hg.
I spent 43 years working ss a chemist, so shame on me if I didn't know this one.

[link:

Natrium is the Latin word for sodium. They could have used So if they wanted to use the English name for it, because no other element uses that
Kalium is the Latin word for potassium. Polonium is Po, so that wouldn't work.
Ferrum is the Latin name for iron. Ir is Iridium.
Cuprum is the Latin name for copper. Co is Cobalt.
Stannum is the Latin name for tin. Ti is titanium.
Stibium is the Latin name for antimony. They could have called it An because that's not in use.
Wolfram is several languages' word for tungsten, after the name of its ore Wolframite. Tu isn't in use, so it could have been that.
Aurum is the Latin name for gold. Go was available.
Argentum is the Latin name for silver. Si is silicon.
Hydrargum is the Latin name for mercury. Me was available.
Plumbum is the Latin name for lead. Le was available.

Scientists really like Latin, especially "noli me tangere," so it makes sense they'd give as many elements as they could Latin-derived symbols.

but not officially admitted until 1953?

in 1959.

...

A reconstruction still exists.

Ft . Meigs in Perrysburg OH is said to the largest wooden fort. I grew up there, close enough to the fort site to occasionally find musket balls and other bits of metal.

it was fully reconstructed. I just assumed the insides were wood.

I've never been in Nova Scotia, did pass the Quebec/Gaspe and New Brunswick while at Expo 67.

Ft. Meigs was constructed during the winter/spring of 1813 in 3 months during The War of 1812. The British General Henry Proctor along with Chief Tecumseh led the attacks. I believe that Canadian militia also took part. Two sieges advanced, both were repulsed. The fort was then taken down. The reconstruction took place in the early 1970s.

guide told us about a tunnel prisoners had dug to escape. I was beside myself with intrigue. That was in Kingston, Ontario. Been to the Citadel in both Halifax, NS and Quebec City. Redoubt in Halifax. Vibes that we are beyond war at this point.

That is the location where satellites and other space objects are crashed at. The International Space Station is planned to be sunk there in 2031.

It starts with the letter "N".

Or is that just a brag. Did you mean the continental US?

Though Brownsville Texas claims the same because they actually on the continent.
There's a hotel in Key West called the "Southernmost". It's around 8 blocks from where my wife's college roommate lived for over 40 years.

Long time ago. They had a key shrimp salad our friend said we had to try.
We also used to hang out at the Green Parrot which is only 6 to 8 blocks away!
Played at a few jam sessions there, too.

Key West is a great place. It has lots of the old Florida left, plus tons to do.

However, a point in Hawaii is even closer to the equator.

You are correct however as a point in Hawaii is closer to the equator.

My question : Name the only two people to have won both an Oscar and a Nobel prize .


✌🏻

✌🏻

Are George Bernard Shaw and Bob Dylan

Both Nobels in Literature.

Oscars : Shaw for the cinema production of Pygmalion ,
and Dylan for for the song Things Have Changed from the movie Wonder Boys


✌🏻

Didn't Gore win both for his environmental work? I seem to remember that.

Won (shared) a Nobel , never won an Oscar


✌🏻

that completed the Northwest Passage?

This ship was a fishing boat with a crew of seven. The NW Passage was sailed from 1902-1906 by a well known polar explorer.

I got the earworm out there anyway


✌🏻

now I have to look darn you!

The explorer Roald Amundsen.

The Gjøa was beached at the west of Golden Gate park in San Francisco all through my childhood. It was parked there for decades and was deteriorating horribly. I understand it was yanked, restored (arrested decay) and shipped back to Norway in the early seventies. It has since had a full and proper restoration.

The Fram vessel itself was in 3 expeditions led by Nansen, Sverdrup and Amundsen. Another ship there is The Maude also led Amundsen. The famous Kon-Tiki is in an adjacent museum.

Someday I'll go to Oslo!

Tuesday Weld, Sandra Locke and singer Karen Carpenter were all considered for the lead role in what film? (none were chosen)

Purely a guess.

Kim Darby was 21 at the time of filming.

In the South Atlantic

what is the northernmost US state?

Fast and durable, they could take a lot of fire from enemy planes and flak. Their only real flaw, slow climbing rates.

What US plane was known as Whistling Death?

The US Navy had 112 carriers during WW2. Many were built during the war, some sank. Which 3 carriers served for the duration of the war, from Pearl Harbor to VJ Day?

The Ranger was underpowered and lightly armored. She spent almost the entire war in the Atlantic, spending the remainder of the war as a night training carrier in the Pacific. The Saratoga was a sister ship to the Lexington. She was torpedoed in January of 42 needing repairs and modernization. The Lex was lost at The Battle of the Coral Sea. The Yorktown was damaged in the same battle, but was patched up well enough to fight along side the Big E and the Hornet at Midway. The Yorktown then sank at Midway. The Hornet was lost in The Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands.

I grew up with a set of Samuel Eliot Morison's works on navel operations of WWII in the house, but never cracked it.

An Ensign, later Lt.(jg), he was the engineering officer.

Then invented totally unbelievable tales of his heroism.
