wonderful my friend & thank you
& thanx especially for acknowledging us all regularly as you do
a spirit i wish to emulate
peter i realize you are living a full life & so i am exceedingly grateful
for this quality time you do spend with us in whatever quantities
& since i for one cant stop asking you questions please just pick up on
whatever you like
& bask in our enthusiasm for all you say
& leave all the rest for later or another
what are you working on the gcebe already
fantastic
& have you selected the 8 tps
also
i realize it is just a matter of taste whether one considers the
monumentation or the actual point or both of these worthy of greatest
attention
but did you mean you have actually visited &or photographed the precise
location of the actual chdefr wet tripoint per se
excuse me i mean tp france germany switzerland
in the middle of the rhine river northwest of basel
as shown by davids map in
http://www.egroups.com/message/BoundaryPoint/33
rather than the dreilandereck monument per se
on westquaistrasse in basel
as beamed up by robert in
http://www.egroups.com/message/BoundaryPoint/41
i ask not only because there are an award & likely a prize still
outstanding for these watery accomplishments but because i acquired an
intense personal interest in this particular wetpoint just as you were
going off to soccer last month
thanx mainly to a comment jesper had previously made about it
btw how is jesper doing
i hope i didnt fry him or his equipment to much
i know gregg has been momentarily preempted too
by a hailstorm plus deluge between 2 tornadoes
like the 4 corners of the sky came by his house
looking like a club sandwich
but happily all is well & drying out
& i wish them both & all us other wanderers goodspeed
also
about tp austria germany switzerland or atchde at lake constance
was it your impression from the local people or something you saw or heard
that a tri national point actually does exist within the lake
i ask because we have reason to believe from david & his colleague there in
http://www.egroups.com/message/BoundaryPoint/84 that much or even all of
the lake may actually be a multisovereign or nonsovereign area
without any actual tp dry or wet
& because this tp or area seems an especially great enigma
which your recollections may shed some light on
about my abbrevs i apologize
& i appreciate your gentle kidding
i was feeling so proud to be with the express majority in using these
but i think the vote was only 2 to 1 or something close like that
& of course you are right
so i will relax & laugh with you about them all
salutes
m
ps
& please tell sooner than later how many & which tps you have visited already
for the suspense is almost too great
