Getting back to what I saw at capital mall. There is a memorial to Roy Wilkins(an iconoclast) On the plaque it describes the as "adorned with african relique" adorn

is in the numbers clue and relique is an artifact frequently religious such as a religious icon. That and all the other clues have me finally committed to the capital

mall..Terry Val if your going out there let me know and I'll join you if you'd like.?

It's not going to be in a goddamn baseball.

What the bloody hell happened to the intelligence in this <censored> cooler? This is absolutely unbelievable. There's no <blankety blank> way that I'm going to even

bother posting my ideas, nor is it worth it to pay attention to the severe lack of intelligence roaming around. I don't give a rat's ass if you are cynical towards my

comments, and, in fact, I encourage it. Go ahead and bitch me out for being upset with "people having fun," as you'll not get any retort-- I won't be responding, nor

reading anything that goes on here until the medallion is found. I remember a time when people shared ideas and created strategies, and we even ended up wearing a

towel to signify the affiliation to this internet message board. I would be more than embarassed to even halfway mention that I use this place as a resource. So long,

feeble minds, I may perhaps come back once the thing is found to see what happens.

My hats off to all those intelligent ones who persist in submitting themselves to such torture. You've been a large help to date. But most of you are gone, so it's little

worth to type this.

translucent peak- I don't think it would be a peak that is only glowing at night. I believe it must have these qualities at all times.

Don't believe in first letters. Try something new - they aren't going to use that again for quite some time.
