dry rie<br/>
more minor than anything<br/>
indeed the most minor visit stuff yet reported here<br/>
<br/>
yes i know it may seem like just another moderated extremity<br/>
& thus only moderately minor as usual <br/>
being no more minor than your many others of this genre <br/>
but this particular moderate extreme is actually of our smallest state<br/>
so i think minicongrats are definitely in order for it<br/>
<br/>
btw the true easternmost point in rhode island<br/>
aka true rie<br/>
or simply rie if you will tho i expect you wont <br/>
is about 3nm sse of dry rie<br/>
& being precisely coincident with the federal tripoint marius is thus <br/>
not minor at all<br/>
but is one of the only 85 primary multipoints of the entire usa<br/>
<br/>
you may actually have viewed &or photographed this marius rie too<br/>
however inadvertently <br/>
if only you &or your camera faced directly out to sea from dry rie <br/>
as is likely<br/>
& provided of course that the weather was fair enough<br/>
<br/>
i think it is also fair enough to say that even true extremities are <br/>
minor stuff <br/>
in our original bp terms<br/>
unless they are also multipoints like true rie aka marius<br/>
or perhaps when presented as an ensemble of all 4 components <br/>
of a completely true extremity or news tour of a place<br/>
tho even this may be stretching our multipointing concept just a bit <br/>
too much<br/>
<br/>
yes i know our original terms keep getting stretched farther & <br/>
farther out of shape in members imagination<br/>
stretched in fact into anything anyone likes by now<br/>
& of course that is well if they really like them<br/>
so in this case less really is more<br/>
it would seem<br/>
& thus very nicely done<br/>
<br/>
