mopar hoarders

NO one has the right to dictate what someone should do with their private property. Yes, cities, counties, parishes and states all try to do this through zoning laws and "smart planning" (see Agenda 21, is all I'll say there), but in the USA, private property rights are supposed to be sancosanct. Those with the power think otherwise. And this part of the discussion is entirely relevant, because the more we ignore the 1,000 pound elephant in the room, the more likely we are to be crushed by it and lose everything.

I had a neighbor that hoarded everything - tools, toys, tractors, trucks, you name it. He had a 1941 Ford coupe hotrod he built in 1963, with a 283 Chevy and PG trans that I never knew he had until after he died and his widow had some of her friends come by to arrange things for the big auction she had planned for the estate. It was parked next to his garage under four feet of other stuff. Fortunately for her, the sale was before the city was getting ready to serve her notice of her "stuff" being the proverbial eyesore...and we live in a rural part of OKC. He and his stuff weren't bothering anyone. Yes, he was going to "fix it all up" one day, but so what? It was his stuff. Period.

donor trucks kicking around my parts loft.... I'm not sure if I'll ever need a blue
'70 steering wheel but hey!..... ya never know...
