ommended for insensitive audiences
interim report on new hampshire state library promise to answer any
reasonable question within a week for probably less than ten bucks
for particulars & maplinks please see messages 269 273 274 282
day 6
i believe the question has already been answered for all practical purposes
the link they offered me
http://sudoc.nhsl.lib.nh.us/rsa/1/1-15.HTM tells the exact particulars of
the boundary line including its final courses southeastward
from that dreamscape of an interisland breakwater on that beautiful map
brian provided with the red flags
& all the way out to the 3mile line
& so anyone with the will & a smart enough gps could now probably take
these data & map & produce bestguessed geocoords for menhus & thus also for
mes & nhe in a matter of seconds
total probable cost zero
in addition i have initiated another request with them for help in
establishing the geocoords of manhus too a slightly more resistant marine
than menhus
& her picketing will leave unmade only the fiercest cajun texmex marine
broad latxus
so there is a fair chance we will have not just this 1 but indeed all but 1
of the 18 marines posted for free by day 7 tomorrow
but the real cost to me whatever it will prove to be was really accrued
the moment i set eyes on that visionary geography of brians & it was
accrued again when he & gregg called these points a klink it
you ask why did it get so expensive
because i am the one who is in a position to hold that pole & bag that
point now
& by the rules of my own silly game am honor bound perhaps even to swim for it
but frankly i am not expecting to go to sea but only going to see
this btw & other factors will delay the western capers by at least a few
more forest fires
