27 Years ago the entire Louisiana & Texas border was closed. Anyone remember?

Candid Camera is the answer. Only had to watch a few seconds.

Needs to be closed off from Arkansas and Louisiana for real, Mexico offers far more than those 2

I did a podcast interview for The First Degree with Art Linkletter's Granddaughter, Alexis Linkletter.

I loved Candid Camera and Kids Say the Darndest Things.

That was a good video

Damn, 1999 looks like 1979 in that video.

That was funny though

Texas set up screening stations at the Louisiana border during Covid just 6 years ago. Per Governor Abbot, Louisiana folks entering Texas had to tell a trooper where they would self quarantine for 14 days. Troopers could inspect to make sure they did so, with a 6 month sentence possible for violations.

Rumors spread for a time that Texas had closed the border with Louisiana.

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The mandatory 14-day self-quarantine order for travelers entering Texas on roadways or by air from Louisiana was lifted Friday, May 1.

The previous order required travelers from Louisiana to tell state troopers where they would quarantine for 14 days once they arrived in Texas.
Texas officials made unannounced visits to make sure the quarantined person followed the rules.

Those who do not follow the rules were subject to a $1,000 fine or 180 days in jail.

Texas troopers set up screening stations along the Texas/Louisiana border on April 5. Those screening stations have been closed.
