more wonderful news nicky
& great thanx as well as congrats for confirming this
more advanced state of play for czdepl than previously
reported

nor can i imagine how exciting it would be
after all the many tries that have been made &
accounts posted here
if you or anyone could dig up a photo or even just
venture a sketch of this temporary bridge across the
neisse that you saw & perhaps even used to approach
the exact trifinium on that day of its closest known
or presumed visitation

for some if not all of us
reaching a multipoint is much like scaling a peak
& we consider that we still have somewhere to go &
grow until we actually arrive
