Thank you John. It's funny, but I always thought that corner of Texas was
actually where
the three states meet. I went to google maps and looked at the satellite
photos of
the spot. Indeed, it sure looks like New Mexico paved over a chunk of
Texas.

Now, what I dont' understand is why Texas allows that? And does NM require
Texas to pay for the maintenance of those few square feet of pavement
actually
IN Texas?

The things you learn on this list....
