"Never mind 1740 - I assume a3 will be some weird topical thing with a casual blend if any - if I am wrong - my apologies..."

Well? Don't leave me waiting in suspense. Did I ruin your landscape? Or not? ...gridcosm?level=1740 It would be ironic if a3 ruined a landscape, because a3 _is_ a landscape. It's somewhat abstract farmland in the fertile crescent, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The ancient kingdom of Ur was once located there. If I'm not incorrect, the word root of the English word Earth is Ur.

Why is CIA Director George Tenet in the foreground wearing a New England Patriots football uniform. Oh, that's just a weird topical thing. Don't worry about it.
