Israel just told folks to leave Turkey. Who knows, about any of it.

I've never been there but try to keep a geographic perspective and relate it to things I know. Evacuating northern Gaza would be about the same as having the north side of Chicago move to the loop, maybe not that far. Fullerton. Would be a couple of hours brisk walk from the farthest point.

Same with the border wall and population density, A similar situation might be a wall at the border between Chicago and Evanston/Skokie. Fairly dense population on both sides, some stretches less so.

And finally, having watched the A-Team, I figure those guys could probably get from Chicago to Evanston without anyone noticing but I wonder if the A-Team scales up. I think the border was breached in fifteen places, maybe it was some super A-Team oversight with schlubs doing the work which brings me back to conspiracy. Doe, a deer, a female deer....and one conspiracy is as good as another.

I'm just a bored old guy with a computer, pretending he's Maigret.

Pay no attention to myself.
