Me too hookrider, all the time. On your saying all the land south of the Rio Grande was in Mexico i didn't think that could be the case all the the way along the river, So checked. It originates in Colorado for a start so thought there had to be Colorado land south of it. Same in New Mexico i thought, after checking. If it those two states it runs directly N-S then all land each side would be E-W of it, With no land south. In that case you would be right. Wouldn't think it would run directly N-S there.

It originates in south-central Colorado, in the United States, and flows to the Gulf of Mexico.

After traversing the length of New Mexico, the Rio Grande becomes the Mexico–United States border, between the U.S. state of Texas and the northern Mexican states of Chihuahua and Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas; a short segment of the Rio Grande is a partial state-boundary between the U.S. states of New Mexico and Texas.

You know me enough to know it was just me wondering. Nothing to do with big fucking deal proving someone wrong. That is never important unless a person proved wrong still insists they are right.

If i'm wrong now in thinking some land south of the Rio Grande in Colorado and New Mexico must be in the US then ok. Just don't see how that could be.

LOL, maybe i've slipped into pedantic mode on this one. ;-)
