That's pretty spaced out! Mark, Bad math. There are almost 28 million square feet in a square mile. If the people were evenly spaced out, Phil's 15 New Mexico citizens per sq. mile could enjoy a ranchette of 42 acres each. If the people stood in the center of their ranchette, there would be 1363 feet between them. That's a quarter of a mile. Of course, on Saturday night, in the corner bar, it's considerably more crowded. Next week we calculate how many angels can dance on the point of a pin. Larry Z
