hahahahaha
youve done it again maestro comix
& it is hard to know what to call this novel offering of yours
for our new ax &or old al

i think it is actually a multidimensional
nay great pyramidal
maiden extremity tour try
isnt it

& a most valiant one at that

moreover you are so right to put first things first

for your 5point try & perimetric scan really do address the new ax
as comprehensively as possible

also of interest
but i agree secondarily in this case
your site names & indicates there are probably 16 municipalities
or kommuner in aland of 4 distinct types
perhaps even arranged concentrically
from the sound of the picture they give
so there should be no problem filling in the fi2al3xxyyzz class
as well as some expectation of artistic delight
if we can ever find the map of them

& btw why has this new ax arisen at this time anyway
can anyone say

& why cant we figure out how to use it in a sentence of proper
cockabebble yet
