LJD Reminds me of a situation near where I live. An old timer lived on a dirt dead end road and had a few acres of land down in a valley that was useless for farming. He lived in an old shack down there and ran a small salvage yard. It was sort of an out of sight and out of mind situation.
A small town near by decided to put in a new entrance into town so they rerouted one highway and widened another and put in an interchange where the two highways and the town entrance met.
When the final grading is finished and many trees are removed lo and behold here is a salvage yard that is an eyesore and will have to go as it offends the city fathers.
This old guy was in his 70�s when the fight started and he still had some old street cars on the property (must have been there awhile I haven�t seen many street cars for sale lately) he fought them in court ignored every cease business order issued and actually went overboard buying more junk to bring in to create a bigger eyesore, in the end of course after 12 or so years of fighting all the way to the State Supreme Court the state moved in and begin the cleanup for which they charged the property owner. About the time the cleanup got underway the old fellow died.
He sure fought the fight and never gave an inch and never backed up at times I think the stubborn old coot enjoyed poking his finger in the eye of the local �Stuffed Shirts�.
As I understood it at the time he had no heirs to leave anything to; so he spent it all annoying the people that want to run him off the place he had owned for years and also he accused them of Interfering with his way of making a living.

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
