&gt; Not too long ago there was an extended discussion about the shortest <br/>

my county <br/>

borders.  I offer these <br/>
&gt; to the group without any assurance that they are the shortest, in <br/>
fact <br/>
&gt; considering the 3,000+ U.S. counties, there are most likely shorter <br/>
common borders.  <br/>
&gt; The obvious counterpart is the longest common county border.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Macon and Monroe Counties in Missouri, estimated at about 400 feet <br/>
in length:<br/>
