I suppose I am under the tree, as well as being under the equator. But... no. (I am in S. Hemi.)
On second thought, I see no tree, bearing yum-yums or tangerines to be seen, so I am not there either.

Ah, but am I really, or is that merely an illusory white rabbit diverting your attention, and pulling you down further into his little hole of bewilderment, as I go further unnoticed?

About face, phil... there I am. This could also be an allusion to my disdain for mirrors in general. (I am now in the E. Hemi.)

"No man is an island" they say... and while I always would like to provide a counter-argument to any point of discussion, I cannot do so in this case. (I can now be found anywhere not on an island, much to my internal dismay.)
![]() No. My country does have cities, but if it comes to such matters, I'd be perfectly happy in you ascertaining my nation alone.
