Ah ha! Yes, we had a good time there at Augustana
College this summer. As for where I live, it's the very
northeasternmost corner of Iowa. Take one step north of
town, and you're in Minnesota. Take one step east of
town, and you're ankle-deep in the Mississippi River. I
live several miles west of town, out in the country.
Minnesota state line is two fields north of me-- "dvo
coinf poriasap yoth," as one would say "two fields north
of me" in Hermetic-- and on any half-clear day I can see
the "pillar of smoke by day" from the Genoa power plant
over in Wisconsin.

Fantastic! You see, this is what has just been amazing
me since I recently discovered the world of conlanging.
I just never dreamed there were so many of us!!!
