The diminishing size of the land grant reminds me of the Nebraska rancher and Texas rancher talking about the size of their ranches.  The Nebraska rancher said he could ride his horse all day and not get from one end of his property to the other end of his property.  The Texas rancher responds that he can get in his pickup and drive all day and not get from one end of his property to the other end of his property.  The Nebraska rancher responds, I know what you mean, I used to have a pickup like that.
