gainesville fl
ray & peter
you hit upon several fascinating logological questions here which i will
enjoy with you some more as soon as i can do the necessary research
that is unless someone beats me to the classical dictionaries etc
but for now we find ourselves on a timed computer in this laidback
university town after intuitively beelining here from destin for purposes of
bagging another point of weed
which is always a fantastic challenge in unfamiliar territory
& always quite different & interesting in the event
& in short we scored another class a
also this momentarily higher priority has preempted the very interesting
probe we were also making of the time zone line in gulf county with you
peter
but i am often in that neighborhood to glut on the seafood there anyway so i
am sure to resume that search sooner than later
especially as it strikes me as a bold new form of sawanabori
this tracing not of a river or boundary etc but of an invisible artifact
however silly
with the apalachicola river itself even appearing to agree by picking up &
marking the time zone change itself upstream of gulf county
also en route we visited a real place actually called fluffy landing
& wouldnt have gone out of our way for it but it is on a real bay called
jolly bay
but all that is along a previous river not the apalachicola
called the choctawhatchee
chocta whatchee you may ask
no not whatchee
choctaw hatchee
but it still sort of goes nicely with withlacoochie
i think the apalachicola goes better with the housatonic
anyway we do seem to have run out of real tripoints to try
for the moment at least
so let me just add while in this university town
with regard to trying to come up with greek &or latin names for things that
this pursuit is great fun especially where anachronisms enter in
as they almost always do
& as will certainly be the case for a specialist in modern boundaries
since the ancient words for boundaries stand for different ideas than modern
boundaries
