What a sad development. My best friend's parents used to live miles outside of town. When we were teenagers we'd lay in the middle of the 2 lane road in front of their house and stargaze. Now they're surrounded by track homes, the road is 6 lanes with non-stop traffic, and there's a huge shopping complex across the street from their house. It's been great for their property value, but not good at all for the lifestyle they chose.
Grab my hunting knife. Hide it under coat. Call my dogs. Go meet that thing. Knife has to be hidden in case it turns out peaceful like i am. (peaceful is not harmless)
