I know I've talked about this before but this 100 acres I've been living on has been sold. They're going to put up 125 homes. I have my mighty one acre and little old farm house that's fixing to be surrounded by new fangled homes and worst of all...people. The 400 acres across the street is suffering the same fate...except it's 500 homes. You figure 4 people per home...that's 2500 people...probably a minimum of 1250 cars...their play toys...their pets...the noise pollution...the light pollution. When the owners of this place put up a security light some 200 yards away from us, I threatened to shoot it out. Took forever to get used to that damned light. Now there likely will be a street light however often they put those. My 300 yard shooting range will be gone...my hunting preserve will be gone...my nature observatory, gone...my solitude...my privacy...everything...gone after 25+ years of me and the Woman being alone.

It's horrible to think about.
