david &or barry &or anyone else
this is too intriguing for me to just let it lie there
do you suppose anything can be said about the nationality of any part or
parts of the lake
like say a cannonballs worth in all directions from the shores
or in terms of projecting predictable lines of equidistance from the
boundaries at the shorelines until a tripoint is reached perforce within
the lake
it seems to me germany should get almost half of the lake
switzerland more than a third
& austria the rest
based on the principle of water following land
i realize all this is vanity unless actually negotiated
but what if anything gives here
