Trump said he wanted to build a wall on the southern border of Colorado.
That might be a lot easier than trying to build it along the Mexican
border. Hey, maybe every state should have a wall along each of its
borders. That would keep the construction jobs going for a while.

Good idea. I'd be a breeze in Michigan. Two relatively short walls
and we can keep out both the Ohioans and Wisconsinites.

You still have Indiana and don't forget the boat people. There are
several thousand miles of coastline. The main part of the state is
surrounded on 3 sides by water bisecting you from the U.P.
Maybe you would be more defensible if you let Wisconsin have the U.P.


I'd be happy to reverse the outcome of the Toledo War, now that the mines
of the U.P. are no longer an economic powerhouse.
You would miss Iron Mountain...

Would I? I see it has a bocce ball tournament. Pity I don't play.

Now you're really missing something... There are bocce courts in the
North End of Boston. The players are mostly older men and it's slow and
civilized. That contrasts with the informal games played in public parks
where I grew up. Underhand tosses are legal and combined with young
Italian guys with a gut full of chianti, quiet picnics were sometimes
interrupted by an errant bocce ball.

My buddies in North Ft Myers play pasture bocce. There are no rules.
The winner of the last round, or whatever you call it, gets to throw
the pauline wherever (s)he wants and you chase the little ball with
the big ones. If it lands in a cow pie, the thrower has to go get
everyone a beer.
