    People around here will ask family members about farm land in the receiving line at the owners visitation/funeral. Heartless bastards.

    While all great players, none
    Of them did for hockey what Gretzky did. Since Jordan’s retirement, the NBA has only been a shadow of what it was when he played.

    In my defense there is no for sale sign at the the end of the driveway yet. Also my driveway is a 1/2 mile long house can not be seen from the road or the neighbors houses so it is perfectly isolated to break into, I have always been a butthead about random people driving all the way in to the house, if you have no business here what the hell are you looking for? Has been a while since somebody drove in to ask permission to hunt, that was always fun.

    Its one thing if they get out and ring the bell. Its another when they just sit there or decide to walk around.

    When my wife was home with our first born she called me at work and said a van is just sitting in the driveway, her car was in the garage. I said release the Super Collider. Clyde was a white german shepard and a huge a-hole, a great dog. The van did not stick around long, he did not pee on strange vehicle tires he bit them. My little girl was never safer, she was an outside kid and the dog was by her side when ever she was outside.

    In this day and age, if they need to drive down someones drive way, he needs to hope he has a short contract or gets on the agents azz to do a better job. There should be many pics. Satellite aerial views and detailed descriptions.
    Oh I should add drone video and pics for a farm or large parcel.

    When I still hunted a lot I saw the biggest bucks in the rain and bad weather. I learned that lesson at 14, when I decided not to hunt because of some nasty weather and watch the biggest buck I have seen run around in front of my setup in the field. He went into the woods, did he go by my setup? I learned from the kitchen window one can't tell.

    Your right but thunderstorms are and we are in an unusual strike area. Lost more than a few electronics and way too many trees over the years. Add to that mad dashes for the basement. I tore out my knee running away from a storm that one min. Sunny the next I had lighting flowing vertically in front of me as I ran.. Daughter and I berry picking when all the hair on me stood up. I yelled for her to run and then we both screamed until hubby heard and came to pick us up. I refused to run across the open field, no rain mind you. We hit the house and all hell broke lose. Answering machine literally blew up, our shepherds tried breaking through basement door to get below and we followed. Tree we stood next to yelling we found split in half and one half 20 ft away sticking out of ground like a spear. We heard the crack boom when it was struck.
    Nope I do not mess with storms here.

    Meant that to say horizontal not vertical
