Well woth it I'd say

Got to picture this. Just after dark, Debbie has the tv on and I have the pc on. No other lights on in or outside the house. She ask what is that glow coming from the window? Dang, I have to get some clothes on and check it out. I find, I counted 17 cars in my other driveway, a bunch of teenage kids and a bonfire. ( the trash that the city doesn't care to pick up all summer long) I have weeds growing in this pile. I ask, what's going on? A little girl says we can't do anything that does cost us a lot of money, no fun unless you have the money.
I get to thinking back when I was a kid, well up to 21. Someone had a place we could meet that didn't cost anything. Have a fire in someones garden spot. Gather with friends without a cost.
I sat close to the house, out of their way with a 300 foot garden hose on ready. As the fire died down and the teens were leaving. The little girl came to me and said. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
Oh wow, big city, big times, no place for kids, unless daddy has the money. Well my tissue is wet thinking that I gave some kids something that their city or parents don't want them to have.

Very cool

Thank you.
Like I said, not every parent has the money to spend on what their child wants to do. As a teen I wanted to hang with friends. A bonfire was well thought, a campfire was miles away, sometimes parent's money for gas to get there. But we had fun. Free fun isn't allowed here. Got to have a permit to spit on your driveway.
The state is going to take about half of my space soon for an interchange. Do I move this house for a 3rd time or build new? I have some 300 trees to cut down that will entertain the young ones before then. Leave the state a 2 1/2 acre bald spot.

The state will pay you for the trees.....I went through this same thing a couple years ago

They will also pay you for the house and will give the house back to you if you can move it in 90 days.
