A farmer makes a fence out of three cars as a way to say to his neighbors that it was his farm and he could do what he wanted with it. After they moved in they starting complaining:
"The people who bought the homes say, 'Well, we love looking into your yard and seeing the horses and the cattle, but we don't like the flies, and we don't like the mosquitoes,' and when I cut my field to bale it, they say, 'We don't like the dust in the air"He offered to pay for a fence and would even install it but they didn't want their view disrupted so he put up the cars as a joking way to remind them that they were in farm country and he could do what he wanted with his farm.

do your best to keep good neighbors... you never know who will move in next.
"How could 24-hr operation be approved?"
Not all state are as over regulated as they are in NJ :-)
"But, our big problem here, in Jersey horse country, is riders riding wherever-the-heck they want, insisting that trails be preserved, even through their neighbors' backyards."
Can't they be charged with trespassing? I would find that particularly irksome during a bar-b-que.
This is obviously George Bush's fault.

You're right ... I've lived here so long I can hardly remember what it's like on "the outside."

No, the trail is made an easement -

The riders take the "we were here first" attitude. Green Acres, Open Space.
It's similar to people down the shore wanting access to the beach through another's oceanfront property.
Goes to show that living in the country isn't all it's cracked up to be.
