Sal emailed me a scan of the sleeve of psyence fiction on tape and with some photoshop jiggerypokery I assembled the outline above.
It took two stencils, one for horizontal lines, another for vertical. I just sort of winged it.
It worked.

About Point Roberts:
Point Roberts, Washington is a mix of down home, small town charm and International consciousness. Only 20 minutes from Vancouver International airport and not much longer from downtown Vancouver, BC. Many full-time residents are consultants, inventors, scientists, writers, artists and virtual business owners who enjoy the natural beauty, peace and relaxed pace in between global travels.
A geopolitical oddity, Point Roberts is a part of the United States that is not physically connected to it, making it a pene-exclave of the U.S. It is located on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, south of Delta, British Columbia, Canada, and can be reached by land from the rest of the United States only by traveling through Canada. It can be reached directly from the rest of Washington and the U.S. by crossing Boundary Bay by sea or air.
Fresh air, miles of trails through ancient forests, miles of natural beaches, ocean kayaking, sailing, biking, hiking, photography and sighting the thriving eagle community and visits from J-Pod Orca whales can be enjoyed by everyone.
Organic gardening is a big deal at the Point Roberts Garden Club which has an annual tour that showcases a breathtaking array of gardens. Their site has "must see" pictures of previous tours and funds raised each year go towards community beautification projects.

Vanishing Point: The point at which something that has been growing smaller or increasingly faint disappears altogether
Restos del desembarco de Normandia durante la segunda guerra mundial. Los ranger escalaron hasta la cima utilizando cuerdas bajo el fuego de las fuerzas alemanas y conquistaron la cima. Poco después pudieron comprobar que los cañones no se encontraban allÃ, los alemanes los habÃan ocultado tierra adentro. El puñado de rangers supervivientes, localizaron e inutilizaron los cañones, aguantando dos dÃas las posición frente a repetidos ataques alemanes. Gracias a ellos, los buques americanos, canadienses y demás pudieron desembarcar en las playas de Normandia.

Sundown over the Point Arena Lighthouse.
The Point Arena Lighthouse stands tall and proud on the Mendocino Coast in Northern California.
This is the third lighthouse on this point. The original lighthouse was destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.
Its lantern room once housed a First Order Fresnel lens.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
La pointe du Millier est un cap situé sur la commune de Beuzec Cap Sizun, entre le pays de Douarnenez et le Cap-Sizun, situé à l'extrême ouest de la Bretagne, dont les falaises atteignent jusqu'à 70 mètres de hauteur. Cette pointe forme l'entrée de la baie de Douarnenez avec le cap de la Chèvre.
The North Point Lighthouse (Wisconsin) has a long history of guiding mariners to Milwaukee Bay. Erected in 1887 and first lit in 1888, the 39-foot octagonal cast-iron tower replaced an 1855 cream city brick lightouse built too close to the eroding bluff. The Queen Anne style keeper's dwelling was built at the same time. In 1912, the tower was almost doubled to its present height of 74 feet by lifting the existing tower atop a new structure. This resulted in a light source 154 feet about the level of Lake Michigan visible up to 20 miles away. The United States Coast Guard took the light out of service in 1994. In 2003, the two-acre property was transferred to Milaukee County, the North Point Lighthouse Friends and Milwaukee County completed restoration of the light station in 2007.
The Point Bonita lighthouse sits on the tip of Marin County near the entrance to the Golden Gate Bridge.
I've done a complete story of this trip on Storehouse.co which is a great app for visual storytellers. Here's the link to mine:

It'a a joke, of course, but at that time, human manure was still used as fertiliser.
Soldiers from the New Jersey Army National Guard and representatives from all 5 branches of the military participated in the "Salute To Service" presented by the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ before their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The ceremonies were opened by an enlistment of new troops in the end zone, followed by jumpers from the United States Military Academy- West Point Parachute Team landing at midfield. The ceremonies concluded with a giant 50-yard flag being unfurled by representatives from each branch of service and an F-16 flyover from the New Jersey Air National Guard's 177th Fighter Wing, NJANG.

Me and Jen just got back from a week break in the Scottish highlands. We spent most of the time at Chanonry Point, standing for hours in the sideways rain not seeing any dolphins
One early morning we walked onto the beach and accidentally startled this hare. Instead of just running left or right along the beach, It decided that the safest option was to tombstone straight into the Moray Firth and swim out about 50 feet into a raging torrent 😳. We couldn't believe what we were both seeing! Straight away we both ran back out of its sight hoping it would swim back in but instead we watched it slowly drifting away in the current, getting weaker and weaker... I was on the verge of getting ready to swim out and save it when it suddenly managed to get itself back onto dry land. It had a moment to regain some composure until a herring gull started attacking it and it then ran past us back towards the golf course and under cover.
The 1991 action flick "Point Break" (top), Keanu's attempt at a real acting gig, (sorry Dude!), was shot in part in the L.A. area.
This is the Manhattan Beach Pier. In 1991, shortly after the filming of this movie, this pier was restored to it's original 1920's glory.
I went to Formby point on Sunday enroute to Crosby to look at the
Anthony Gormley statues, more of which later. We were just about to get in the car when I spied a couple of ladies taking photographs, I walked over and thought this fox was stuffed, it was literally 10 feet away from us. Apparently it is that used to humans it pretends to have a limp to gets food from passers by who feel sympathy for it...it has been doing this for four years!!!!.....it has even taught it's cubs to do this...amazing!!
