| Ah, another reason to love the United States.... This goes right up there
with the people who sue McDonald's because they got burned by the coffee.
Well being in the country I guess my next option is to put that fence up and
just let the grass grow really tall along the property line as the people
around here seem to be deathly afraid of fleas and ticks getting on themΏ]
and for the Quads, well a bunch of well placed rocks and logs could make
things not quite as enjoyable.  I wouldn't have a problem with it but
they seem to have no concept of the "tread lightly" idea and just assume
that since the property is there and they can see it, they have all the
right in the world to do whatever they want on it.

p.s. s/mote/moat/g;
Ώ] This is a true story, I have 12 acres and about 4-5 acres of it is
"manicured". I took the very front 100 feet of the about 300 feet of front
yard and let the grass grow and wildflowers grow. My next door neighbor was
complaining that it would cause her kids and cats (all 11 of them!!!) to get
fleas and ticks, I told her it wouldn't if she kept them on her own
property. Then I said even if I did mow that acre or so of property, I had
another 8 acres out back that was even more wild, was that a problem too?
Just looking forward to the time I have 100 acres and living in the middle
of it and there is a gate only letting those folks I invite in.

Hey that happened to mom too but she was stealing apples. I think my
granddad actually spanked her after that too... Now a days someone would
be trying to sue someone else.
I have been thinking about building a mote, that could be fun for all sorts
of reasons. Darn thing would have to be a third of a mile to go down one
property line though. Though if I built one that long that was 6 feet deep
and 10 feet wide I would have about 100k cubic feet of dirt to make a
sledding hill for the winter or as a base to build a nice tower like Merlin
had. Then I get to do the other side of the property and build another
hill. Of course it took me a couple of days just to dig my sump drain line
trench and that was only 300 feet x 6 inches wide by 18 inches deep.

When I was a kid, I once got an ass-load of salt from a shotgun from a
crotchety old dinosaur farmer. Something about his pumpkins and the M-80s I
was sticking in them..

In the south we say something like
"Hey you kids.... Get those Quads off my land! Don't make me put out my
AK47, oh wait, those are baned, I mean my .30-06!"

Well sort of...
People in the city have "lawns", us folks in the country have "land"....
Sort of... "Hey you kids.... Get those Quads off my land! Don't make me put
up a barbed wire fence."

What sucks is that lack of writing skill is quickly rolling over into every
day writing such as blogs (which, IMO, should be a step above an email in
quality), online news articles, and printed writing now.
I get dinged at work fairly regularly because I am willing to write up a
long descriptive email of a solution to a problem but won't write up a
"knowledge base" article for it in Word. It isn't because I don't want to,
actually I wouldn't mind if that was my entire job, it is because when I
write something up that I consider formal (such as a Word document) or long
lived versus an email, I will strive to at least understand why Word is
underlining things and make sure that case, tense, voice, party, flow, etc
etc ad nauseum are correct. I hate reading something that was written for a
formal or semi-formal forum and the writing is poor and I hate to have
people look at me the way they do when they encounter that quality of
writing. You just look like an uneducated bumpkin.That means anything I
write in Word for the KB system (or anything else really) will likely take
10-20 times longer than an informal email where I just tossed stuff out
there.

grammatical howler I made in my earlier post. She must be getting soft.
