Jay, there are counties in Texas bigger than countries in Europe...

Funny that you say that. I was having dinner with a British friend who is
over here working for a time at the HQ of the company he works for in
London.

He had finally gotten out of our the 20K population metro area and explored
the surrounding area. He in a very British way made a comment that some of
our very small towns call themselves things like Junction CITY yet they were
mere villages by European standards.

I took this opportunity to remind him that some of the things they call
countries in Europe would barely qualify as states in the US and many of
them are the size our counties.
