thanx peter
glad to share in your hit
& now to even beg for your pic
at your easy convenience of course

also had the great thrill of zeroing in on all of lu2
aka digrulu for short
at map24
a highly recommended new zoom sensation in any case

luxembourg didnt have to have an internal tripoint

by contrast delaware with 3 counties doesnt have a tricounty point

man this is my fourth library internet try of the day
couldnt even log on from the first 2 towns
which must be a new bp record
& i am thinking of going for the quintipopper now
but just for the fun of it
