thanxx peter for this harmony & also for renewing my favorite row er
question about that special boundary point where nature ends & art
begins

& i would like to take this opportunity to repeat that i think man &
works of man are an integral part of nature
& that artificial is just as natural & just as real as natural is
& also to remind doubters that the boundaries & even the very idea of
a state such as luxembourg are already an artifice or work of man so
how could anything lower than the bird droppings at the very top of
that tower be the top of luxembourg
really
i dont mean to be narrow minded yet i imagine you may all disagree
vehemently
