NUMBER 726

BENCHMARKS continued

For far too long M.C. has been proclaiming that a fabulous treasure is to be had in El Nova Villa de Dundalke, a near mythical metropolis in the far-flung frontier regions of our usual everyday realm. Such was the force of his declarations that Benchmarker suspended all sceptism and joined up as navigator on the expedition, setting out just as Summer burst into abundance. Although the voyage was becalmed for a while on the outskirts of our urbis felicitas to the consternation of the obediantia civium in their cars behind, overall it was blessed with fine good fortune, because treasure there most certainly was. And while much was garnered that seam is far from exhausted. Another voyage to there awaits.

Below: This one from Dundalk, County Louth, is from the Crescent on the building that was formerly the Louth Hospital and is now the Grammar School.
