What I find most intriguing is that the tower was there long before the
McMansions were built, so the builders and the buyers were not surprised.

they're all upset. Just like when the Blue Route was finally built here in

Philadelphia area.

Not uncommon at all, Jim. In my area, we have farmers that hve sold off

land for development, after which the people that moved into the
development sued to shut the farmer down because of the noxious smells
emanating from the farm.

Now that's dumb!


Even dumber...

It's now moot...but when I was at El Toro/Tustin in the 80's we'd routinely
get phone calls at the abse complaining about the "[expletive] jet noise"...

I don't know how the one call got routed to the AeroClub this one Saturday
morning, but the guy was P.O.ed that an A6 Intruder just flew by his new condo.

I asked him to give me his location so I could pass the info to Base
Ops...Turns out he bout a condo for a quarter mill only 350 YARDS from the
right-of-way corridor to the 34 duals at El Toro.

I asked him if he hadn't noticed all the jet traffic when he bought the
place and he said no.

He probably didn't! So many people manage to go through life with
amazingly little interface with the outside world. It's like I ask -
what do they spend all their time thinking about, if they are thinking
about anything.

One of the best education's I ever got was from a teacher in high
school that showed us exercises to increase our observational skills.


I told him that my pick-up truck, which cost less than a tenth of what he
paid for his condo, had features on it I didn't care for, but I didn't fuss
about them because I KNEW what I was buying before I signed on the dotted line!


I also pointed out that the base had been here since 1942 and flying jets
since 1949. His condo was still dripping wet pain off the ceiling.

That's when I hung up on him.


I don't blame it entirely on the people suing, the farmer had to be
pretty stupid to not know that "development people don't like nature
very much.......


How would the farmer know?

This past Wednesday, I was in Lancaster County, PA. Amish/Mennonite country,
although development is pushing many of the Old Order out. We stopped at the
Wawa at the intersection of 30 and 896. In three directions there were outlet
malls and retail stores. In the fourth direction was a working farm, and a
farmer with a team of 6 horses cultivating. The smell was definitely rural
but not unpleasant.


Nothing like fresh tilled earth....But it's the freshly fertilized earth
(courtesy of the team of horses!) that set it apart!

It's all okay, except for the pig manure! 8^)
