I don't know. The "mountainous" hill that rises 2,000 feet above our
house -- which is making sunset about 1:50PM this time of year --
seems like a "mountain" to me.
I prefer the definition, "It seems really, really big from where I'm
standing."

terrorist cells have been located near the Edmonton oil fields, and
offers "assistance" to Canada in the form of 150,000 US troops, now
massing along the border. ::::
