Nope, not micronesia and I'm not o-peein....though I still find it a fun challenge to see how up the wall I can be o-peein < that's not a clue, I'm just saying.
As you're probably finding by now, like I said earlier, I'm where I am because it is counter-intuitive that it is what it is where it is. |

head more east and south
...wouldn't these Russian/"Soviet Union" places be considered "Asia" where I am not? Think "counter-intuitive" as far as "how the hell can this be in the EH?" ...at least to me it was highly so until I got here. |

hmmm, that's not really correct, unc. here's a strong clue:
I'm at a place that is in the United States but in the eastern hemisphere!...in fact, it is the most eastern point in the U.S. for that very reason. I know I was surprised until I got here. |
