thats nuthin man
look what they did to western sahara
completely lost it in a sandstorm


& heres more truth & power to your ad

maybe we could even repay them for the map by alerting them to such
improvements as we have been finding
& also by helping them exploit their neglected tripoint gold

think of all the potential acutourism value we might even get to share with
them

also
not sure whether you were making a boundary or a point about the canal zone
but it certainly did split panama so neatly in 2 & so oddly backwards as well
that i couldnt tell her major clave from her minor clave
nor which end of the canal nor zone was which for that matter
as i worked a month in the zone for & with panamanians
while living in a panama slum with americans
when this late american ghost or ex exclave was still a living exclave

i have a feeling too that the zone was actually completely surrounded by
panamanian lands & waters
making of it an enclave as well as an exclave
& making the 2 supposed halves of panama actually reunite just offshore
but i cant prove it

the topological question of what territory is actually open ended & what
territory is actually enclosed or joined here is strangely reminiscent of
the question of the jungholz x or neck

schematically this may in fact just be the flip side of that coin
or perhaps it is the whole toony for that loony
