Regarding the nuclear blast proof mail poles:
I totally agree that anyone trying to destroy mailboxes should get what is coming for them. But what happens if someone genuinely goes in the ditch due to a legit cause and dies cause they hit it?
My Ex-FIL had a mail box with a sort of breakaway spinning mechanism. If someone hit it, it would spin but would also catch the vehicle on the backspin
Driving is pretty high on the risk assessment chart.
People have told me I'm crazy because I'm climbing a tree, I say, but you drive down a state highway texting while others going the opposite way are doing the same; pretty sure I'm gonna hit the ground a slower speed
. It's all about perspective.
Crazy about the property lines up there. Ours are kinda wacky in the area, and at our house too. When we first were looking at the place the neighbor told me that the main driveway was on his property and wasn't included with the house(it is), I asked what he was going to do, he said put up a fence, so I said, just tear up the drive to our 30x40 concrete pad and then put up a fence, he says, no ill just put a fence over the drive. I said, well if I win the bidding just let me know if you need a hand. What an idiot, glad he moved, the new neighbors are great. He was just flexing to keep the bids down I think as he was probably bidding on it too, I bid 3k over the initial asking price, everyone said I was crazy(seems I get told that a lot). Now it's worth over 4 times the amount we paid(not including the pole barn) and that was just 13yrs ago, little above the 8% annual gain average over 25yrs, and our taxes are a lot lower than they could be. I like investing
