thank you<br/>
hiya hiya<br/>

ok <br/>
thanx again<br/>
tho kytn2 & njny ellis & njny liberty & motn2 & kymo2 arent really <br/>
broken<br/>
though they are separate from their better known line mates<br/>
<br/>
they are complete state lines <br/>
even if they arent entire interstate boundaries<br/>

<br/>
 </span></blockquote>because thats all she wrote<br/>
<br/>
there are only these 5 second string state lines in the usa<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; Why not go to southeastern VA and <br/>
&gt; northeastern NC? <br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>because the state line continues on the water & is singluar<br/>
<br/>
unlike the above 5 very special duplicative ones<br/>

even greater than in trying answer them<br/>
<br/>

then the game was worth the candle<br/>

 </span></blockquote>The answer <br/>

 </span></blockquote>ah but what a wonderful commotion you appear to have raised<br/>
<br/>
that must feel very good<br/>
<br/>
congrats<br/>
<br/>

whats the point of this<br/>

shortest dry state line segment<br/>

is that the question<br/>

please make sure you know what you mean this time<br/>
