JAL said...: OK. I apparently did not save the Althouse Grand Tour map. It doesn't show up on a search of google maps.

Post it again and I'll try to save it.

I want to see if there is anyone in Ohio near the east fork of something with a floodway. (?)

If there is, you might be missing a glass of wine with Althouse and should complain. Or maybe not.

Irene said...: What a good doggie! Although the doggie is off leash, he cautiously looks back in the first photo, gauging his distance from his humans and checking for their approval. Is he walking along the Olentangy River floodway? Perhaps near Worthington or Delaware Ohio?; 3/14/09, 8:36 PM
save_the_rustbelt said...: There are a thousand places in Ohio with this type of stream meandering through a wooded floodplain, not far from cultivated fields.

Hope the Prof. is enjoying her visit.; 3/14/09, 9:10 PM

Well that, or this is tape from a promo for "America's Next Best Dog."

OR, maybe a promo for the re-release of a Led Zep compendium?

Who could possibly know?

If I were to guess, I would have to go with the Althousian Rorschachian Mirrorian Theory.

But dang...doesn't that seem way too obvious?; 3/14/09, 9:30 PM

Sydney said...: Is that the Cuyahoga River?
That tree kind of looks like the Signal Tree.; 3/14/09, 9:36 PM

That was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Hugh Jackman should be ashamed of himself.; 3/14/09, 9:56 PM

The Dude said...: So the tree of life is a sweetgum tree (Liquidambar styraciflua)? That movie looks very odd. As much as I like sweetgums, whoever wrote that screenplay knew very little about trees.; 3/14/09, 10:05 PM
hdhouse said...: I still think this is near Columbus,Ann is playing footsie with OSU Law School, and is toying with the idea of a farmhouse life...or not.; 3/15/09, 1:54 AM
David said...: The Cuyahoga river? Is it on fire?

A Mastodon could lift its leg on that tree.; 3/15/09, 2:34 AM

Life needs a dog.......

What is the tree girth? 20 ft?; 3/15/09, 8:51 AM
