Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Thu Jan 16 13:05:38 2020, in response to Re: ''Jeopardy'' producers pilloried for expecting contestants to give correct responses, posted by Orange Blossom Special on Thu Jan 16 12:52:40 2020. Off topic now, I thought I read a few years ago about a dispute between Texas and Mexico last decade, but I found this interesting stuff instead.https://www.npr.org/2016/06/08/481206868/landowners-and-federal-officials-dispute-red-rivers-boundaries The federal government is changing the border between Texas and Oklahoma. What's going on? That's what landowners along the Red River want to know. For centuries, the Red River has been a line of demarcation. It once marked the boundary between Spain and the United States, later Texas and the U.S. and finally, Oklahoma and Texas. Now, as NPR's Wade Goodwyn reports, that could all change and affect tens of thousands of acres of private land in the process. WADE GOODWYN, BYLINE: Pat Canan is a petroleum engineer, a Texas game warden and a north Texas rancher with about 2,000 acres that abut the Red River. For more than 50 years, his family gazed across the river at their neighbors in Oklahoma. One day, while investigating his property on his all-terrain vehicle, Canan saw something stuck in the ground, a fence post in the middle of one of his pastures. He stopped and found a little round bronze marker with official looking words stamped in the middle. What was written there was dumbfounding. |
