I was delivering a drum of fuel this morning around Deatsville (don't wanna give away your 20 any more than that) and went past a house with multiple BFL equipped vehicles in the yard. Judging by the number of 'em, I can assume you're here often enough to see this. Which one of you fellas is responsible? |

Yeah, we bought the home place about 15 years ago, and the adjacent 20 acres between us and the main road a couple of years later. We put in a bid on the road frontage on the opposite side (where those new houses have gone up) when it came up for sale, but we were outbid. Before those homes went in, almost everyone in the immediate area was related to my wife/her side of the family (including Mr. B.'s wife back behind us, great couple by the way). The big farm across the road and most of the surrounding land on both sides belonged to my wife's grandfather, and now to her father. I love the area, even with the recent increase in neighbors, and you couldn't pay me to move back to the city at this point (I grew up in B'ham FWIW).

I'm across Jordan from you and anyone who doesn't believe in urban sprawl should've seen this place 15-20yrs ago. |

Quoted: Yep, that's my wife's primary vehicle & kid hauler (we have three young children). I do drive it on family trips and a few other occasions, but I consider that one "hers."

I couldn't make it up next to you, but I waved anyway.  |

Quoted: Sorry I didn't see you! We were on our way home from church and lunch in Montgomery and SHE was driving so I was probably... distracted, yeah, let's go with that.  It's all good. Traffic was a little thick and I didn't want to be the jackass blowing his horn in the middle of it. I'll make some noise next time. |
