Ha! That's why I live on a farm (well, I did until last spring, and I'm going
back next spring...). I need lots of room to park my countless rusting hulks
of cars (oops, I mean "parts cars"). If someone's going to tell me what I can
do with the property I'm spending lots of money on, they can just keep it!
Give me skies, starry skies, and the open space above...
