BORDER MATH

Occasionally, I’ll do a math problem to make sure dementia has not fully taken hold.  

Let’s see.  There are 5280 feet in a mile and the U.S. border with Mexico is 1200 miles long or 6,233,000 linear feet. 

Governor Gregg Abbott has ordered orange buoys to be placed in a 1000 foot stretch of the border in the Rio Grande River near Eagle Pass, Texas.

Does that seem to you like a real solution or a publicity stunt?

Answer when ready.
