<br/>
my fellow giant trees<br/>
  nay humongous humangoes<br/>
<br/>
as you probably already guessed<br/>
  the outbreak of stop signs notwithstanding<br/>
i am homing in again on usorca<br/>
the federal tripoint where my previous try in early june netted only a <br/>
wishfully thought class d visit & photo from the beach in lowering fog<br/>
<br/>
& if you recall any of that<br/>
then you probably also realize what a crisis of nomenclature i am having at <br/>
this point<br/>
not only over this point nor even only over the 20 us marine tripoints as a <br/>
class<br/>
but over the entire point naming system we have been developing to date<br/>
<br/>
on the one hand i tell myself just shut up & alphabetize the best available <br/>
diglyphs & call it caorus again just as before<br/>
but on the other hands i say consider the possibilities for making our <br/>
entire elegantly simple system still more intelligent<br/>
still more mythopoetic<br/>
& still more fun<br/>
<br/>
for since this trifederate point is shared among entities on different <br/>
levels<br/>
there is not only some logic in ordering the diglyphs hierarchically first & <br/>
then alphabetically to yield uscaor<br/>
but also some extra intelligence conveyed by the atypicality of the <br/>
nonalphabetical arrangement<br/>
<br/>
but since i would also like to get a sense of the entire pandoras er rubiks <br/>
cube<br/>
i cant help also trying out the 4 remaining nonalphabetic probabilities<br/>
causor<br/>
orusca<br/>
orcaus &<br/>
usorca<br/>
<br/>
for all are interesting & loaded with possibilities<br/>
<br/>
yet of the 6 permutations in all<br/>
usorca seems to win in my mind<br/>
both for imaging the punctiliously indigenous great american ork or killer <br/>
whale<br/>
& for actually improving on the merely nonalphabetic uscaor<br/>
by chancing to be completely counteralphabetic<br/>
hence a more deliberate & obvious flag<br/>
that something unusual is going on here<br/>
for any who have the eyes to see it<br/>
<br/>
so i have settled for the moment on usorca<br/>
for both its hierarchical & counteralphabetic virtues<br/>
& have postponed the question of which is the prior virtue<br/>
until such time as someone again faces the waorus<br/>
or the only other usmarine tripoints that could call the question<br/>
namely the mdva federal triplet of fogotten sibs dcmdvas & dcmdvan<br/>
& the prvi pair recently discussed here under the names prusvin & prusvis<br/>
<br/>
but only so much for the naming crisis<br/>
& if you have any answers please help<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
the bigger crisis is in technique<br/>
<br/>
for i have no camera & no gps & no watercraft with me<br/>
& my only hope is to improve ever so slightly on my previous weak class d or <br/>
really class e visit by visiting but not photographing a true class d<br/>
<br/>
so my question here for you & me is<br/>
is it worth it technically<br/>
<br/>
i mean<br/>
is it a meaningful improvement & advancement on this otherwise virgin point<br/>
& indeed upon this otherwise virgin class of tripoints<br/>
for which<br/>
you may also recall<br/>
the best we have done so far is<br/>
an iffy class d photo for usorca & waorus<br/>
a true class d photo for demdus<br/>
& of course jacks golden glance at njnyus from the qe2<br/>
<br/>
so help me if you can<br/>
<br/>
i am just stalling here at the library because i think the weather may be <br/>
clearing later for a more auspicious try<br/>
