a map featuring yesterdays newfound nevis quintipoint
http://www.tc.umn.edu/~terre011/nevparish.html
on nevis peak

so lets hear a warm bp welcome for kn2chfigilowi&
with the ampersand at the end indicating that there is still work to
be done on it before it can be considered alive & living
but which would make it the new global maxipoint in earnest
since if it is real & no mere ghost it will technically outrank
usfl3glhemaokpa

the diglyphs stand for st kitts nevis of course &
charlestown figtree gingerland lowland windward
which are actually only the delightfully short names of these
implausibly superdenominated parishes

a first delicious peek at the peak

not snowcapped
but topped by its hallmark eponymic snowcloud
hence only class e

a better peek but still class e

& finally a possibly class c or b visit to the peak itself

or at least it looks like our armchair safari has arrived

& now if we can just figure out whether the cia factbook or the iso
standard is correct we may really have something new to celebrate
