<div id="ygrps-yiv-528951955">Ok.  This is bad news, but my computer is badly<br/>
stricken by a virus (due to my stupidity, no less), so<br/>
I can&#39;t update my web page nor send anything from the<br/>
collection of maps I have.  That does suck.  <br/>
<br/>
To add a few things to Jonathan&#39;s wanderings<br/>
(wonderings? sp?), if you look at treaties of the<br/>
Mexico, USA border, you will find many historic<br/>
instances of small land on other side of a river.  Too<br/>
bad they dammed it (dammit), so it doesn&#39;t happen<br/>
anymore.  There should be other international ones,<br/>
but they escape me now except my own Bangladesh-India<br/>
border.  And Bangladesh-India border is quite a bigger<br/>
mess as it includes enclaves and moving river banks.<br/>
In Bangladesh, I once had to drive through a road a<br/>
few feet from the border while saying Hi to farmers in<br/>
India.  And those two countries hate each other.  I<br/>
also may have driven through an enclave, but this was<br/>
before I got interested in enclaves, so never bothered<br/>
to find out if I truly did or not.  That is pretty<br/>
much all the international border stories I have.  <br/>
The only state boundary story I can think of is the<br/>
fact that in Smoky Mountain National Park, you will<br/>
have to cross the border once on the main road if you<br/>
just drive, but will have to cross the border three<br/>
times if you want to go to the parking lot (I only<br/>
stopped in the parking lot, so I could have a chance<br/>
to cross the border).  Of course she was laughing at<br/>
my obsession as surely we all have somebody who does. <br/>
