I assumed the reference to "standing on the Globe"  contained a
misused preposition and that "standing at the Globe" was intended
(the Globe being a well-known Athens, GA, watering hole where one
might stand, sit, slump or possibly recline).

Continuing on with the theme of intra- or interstate conflicts, would
anyone care to provide specifics on a story I heard many years ago
about the Indiana-Kentucky boundary.  As I heard it, a coal fired
power plant on the Indiana side of the Ohio River was cut off from
Indiana when meanders of the Ohio changed their course.  The Indiana
governor at the time felt threatened enough by Kentucky that he
mobilized the Indiana National Guard to protect the power plant from
its neighbor to the south.  I am not sure what the threat was or how
real it was.

I bet this is a textbook case; but, not being a geographer, those
textbooks are not falling out of my shelves.

A mascot with a rifle - now that IS a scary thought.  What kind of
example are we setting for the delicate and impressionable young
minds of the people who see such a spectacle.  Time for the mascot
police to get cranked up.
