lincoln city or again<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
apparently there is another wave of brendans waves going around<br/>
judging from a recent report from arif<br/>
& i think it may also be connected with the recent demise of the navy van as <br/>
well<br/>
<br/>
yes 307 thousand miles was all she wrote<br/>
<br/>
anyway mishaps are usually more fun than normal haps<br/>
dont you think<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
those 4 days i spent in tualatin were mainly devoted to acquiring & trimming <br/>
a brand new 82 dodge maxivan<br/>
<br/>
man i can climb mountains again<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
so i confess i havent been paying full attention here lately<br/>
<br/>
but i would like to respond now to what i can remember<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
first<br/>
highest accolades to harry for being the first to use the term everyones ice <br/>
in a normal sentence<br/>
<br/>
& in random order otherwise<br/>
that situation at diomede is fascinating for other reasons also<br/>
<br/>
the international boundary is evidently meridional<br/>
if you can believe most maps<br/>
& slightly closer to little diomede than big<br/>
also according to most<br/>
so there is apparently an application of the sectoring principle rather than <br/>
of the equidistance principle here<br/>
<br/>
i would like to know the legal truth about this tho<br/>
because the position of the twin binational marine tripoints<br/>
akruusn & akruuss<br/>
hinge on this<br/>
<br/>
& these binational tripoints are of course not just heterophonics since fish <br/>
cant talk<br/>
but they are legally real<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
i would also like to compliment those of you who are actively engaged in <br/>
trying to determine the smallest clave in the world<br/>
not only for the beau geste of it all but especially for the extremism<br/>
& i understand why you would be searching for the smallest<br/>
since they are so cute<br/>
but what about the largest too<br/>
<br/>
is a large clave necessarily so ugly<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but speaking of extremism<br/>
i am here almost literally on the banks of what is proclaimed the shortest <br/>
river in the world<br/>
the d river because they evidently dont like to speak of it correctly as the <br/>
devils river<br/>
which runs about 4 tenths of a mile from devils lake to the sea<br/>
<br/>
or maybe they gave it a short name deliberately too<br/>
<br/>
if the name d river is accepted tho<br/>
then this river should be added to that list of rivers like the glenelg that <br/>
run in both directions<br/>
hahaha<br/>
<br/>
& heck it may really run in both directions too during a tsunami<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
congrats to jan on that beautiful vennbann map<br/>
which so reminds me of the shutes & ladders gameboard<br/>
<br/>
& isnt the world just a plaything anyway<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
about searching bp<br/>
it is not easy but it can be done<br/>
<br/>
they dont tell you this<br/>
but the way to do it is to retype the search subject & then hit the next <br/>
button every single time they give you a partial response<br/>
<br/>
not the previous button but the next button<br/>
<br/>
of course it is tempting to hit previous to get the previous batch<br/>
but you must remember to be counterintuitive<br/>
& you will eventually reach message number 1<br/>
<br/>
unbelievely but eggzactly right<br/>
<br/>
& if you think i am scrambled<br/>
i admit i do love to scramble<br/>
but you may be soft boiled yourself<br/>
because i am actually sunny side up<br/>
tho it is a rainy day at the beach<br/>
hence this endless rambling<br/>
<br/>
& please dont anybody worry about being hideously misinformative<br/>
so long as you are having fun<br/>
