whaattt anyway<br/>
<br/>
for even the general me is staggered lee & windward here<br/>
<br/>
but ok i will eat this intended present shamelessly too<br/>
<br/>
still stunned & basking in the afterglow of your great new ulyssead<br/>
for yes i really think we must rename even the odyssey itself now too<br/>
in honor of your true sawanabori both mathematical & philological of <br/>
the craziest checkerboard in the world to its true source ulysses <br/>
grant <br/>
<br/>
but sir i am prepared to make some concessions<br/>
<br/>
first evidently boundaries do or at least can have handedness & at <br/>
their best they even have evenhandedness<br/>
<br/>
boundaries to that extent have vectorhoods<br/>
<br/>
i am not prepared to concede that boundaries move<br/>
nor that they would even recognize your well gesticulated tour as <br/>
motion of any sort<br/>
<br/>
about borders<br/>
borders still cross<br/>
prima facie & unrebutted<br/>
& they change sides when they cross<br/>
<br/>
excuse me<br/>
i am being interrupted here in canaan<br/>
later<br/>
