that is beautiful too
& you can count on pontiff max to mentally supply the word dry for you
whenever appropriate
& the canada dry whenever possible
& a veritable college of cardinals generally
of all persuasions

i agree it makes sense to try for a bulls eye class a or b
but i also claim class c & d visits like that all the time
because visit doesnt only mean go to but also go to see
in fact 12 of my own tristate claims are still just that
& many of their pix are presently at the corner corner main page
but why not
dan for another example just pointed out a beaut he has like that of abmtsk
which i think we would be honored to link to also
at least until somebody actually climbs that mountain & sends a closeup
& then he & we would still be honored i think

definitely sufficient
& probably even best if you only want to recognize a single probability of
each newspoint
nor do i blame you for wanting it that way as player or record keeper
tho i also love to say & be continental & insular & absolute
as well as just dry
connecticut south for example is so rich for having all 4 of these distinctions
& no aleutian islanders could ever dispute your claim to continental use
even as they claimed insular use & dry use & absolute use for themselves
