len

it looks like you may be reporting a prized rarity here

which has escaped our global scrutiny til now

namely a 5th condo territory

for we doubted just last month that we would find any more than the pair of delu & the pair of esfr condos totaling 4 already known

as they would make a nice global bouquet in any case



hopefully helpfully
