certainly no handsomer nor more intriguing than this
but you got me wanting to see again the topless bathing beauties on the
beach & the curved facade of the hotel de paris & even the bureau drawer
behind it in which my young daughter slept for 11 nights in 1980
so i simply had to check mapquest & found it does give slightly more detail
generally tho no further encouragement that i might fulfill any of these
desires today or any time soon


about the ruler boundaries
i just read in nicholsons boundaries of canada that they are sometimes
distinguished by being called artificial
or geometrical or conventional
as opposed to natural
or geographical or physical
which are names sometimes given to boundaries that have been fixed along
the lines of watersheds & rivers & shorelines of lakes & seas

i have also noticed that many writers seem bound to say things like
artificial boundaries are well more artificial etc etc
& natural boundaries are naturally more natural
but i have never seen anything really definitive & comparative & satisfying
about the kinds of impacts that these two basic types of boundaries create
in real life
& i think such a yawning info gap occurs because all boundaries are in
reality equally artificial & unnatural
