with multiseasonal greetings to all from atop 2003 north


that is
assuming 1910 universal time equals 1210pm in bp message board time
etc
etc

& admittedly this try would have been much better coming from the tropic of
cancer
or perhaps from the arctic circle
at their intersection with w long 122d30m
the meridian of local high noon at this particular solstice
& thus the absolute high point of this our northern solar year
actually occurring in the above cases somewhere in the pacific ocean & in
great bear lake respectively

or maybe from stonehenge would have been better
or the great pyramid
etc etc
for those who prefer culture to nature

or yikes the north polar webcam itself
at simultaneous high noon & high midnight

yes that might be hard to beat

but it is difficult indeed to fix on the unequivocal maxipoint in such a
case
& i trust home sweet cream hill here will do in a pinch
as would anywhere else
until improved upon
